Primary Identifier | MGI:109392 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 13983 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including hormone-mediated signaling pathway; nervous system development; and reproductive structure development. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; ganglia; genitourinary system; limb segment; and mammary gland primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); autoimmune disease (multiple); bone disease (multiple); hypospadias; and neurodegenerative disease (multiple). Orthologous to human ESR2 (estrogen receptor 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit neural, behavior, glucose homeostasis, sex-specific nociception, cardiac, and ion channel abnormalities and myeloproliferative disorders. Females are sterile/subfertile with granulosa cell defects; males show prostate hyperplasia. [provided by MGI curators] |
