Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 14009 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including axon guidance; mechanosensory behavior; and positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; peripheral nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ETV1 (ETS variant transcription factor 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous inactivation of this gene leads to premature death, ataxia, impaired limb coordination, defects in muscle innervation, muscle spindle differentiation and sensory-motor connectivity, deficient golgi tendon organs, and absence of Pacinian corpuscles and their afferents.
