Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 50496 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of MLL1 complex and RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; limb; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human E2F6 (E2F transcription factor 6). PHENOTYPE: Both homozygous and heterozygous null mice exhibit subtle posterior transformations of the axial skeleton with incomplete penetrance. In addition to skeletal transformations, male mice homozygous for one knock-out allele display defective spermatocyte development and Leydig cell hyperplasia. [provided by MGI curators] |
