Primary Identifier | MGI:1347472 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 15375 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Involved in chromatin remodeling. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including lung development; prostate gland development; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in microvillus and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer; gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); and lung cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human FOXA1 (forkhead box A1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit abnormal feeding, hypoglycemia, impaired glucagon secretion, hypotryglyceridemia, wasting, and lethality between postnatal days 2 and 14.
