description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including embryonic limb morphogenesis; kidney development; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within gonad development; intermediate mesoderm development; and metanephros development. Predicted to be located in cell cortex and cytosol. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and limb. Orthologous to human OSR1 (odd-skipped related transcription factor 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted mutation fail to form atrial septum and exhibit dilated atria with hypoplastic venous valves and blood backflow from the heart into systemic veins. Complete agenesis of adrenal glands, metanephric kidneys, gonads, and defects in pericardium formation are also observed. [provided by MGI curators] |
