Primary Identifier | MGI:2442326 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 268564 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables protein homodimerization activity. Involved in positive regulation of T cell mediated immunity; positive regulation of lymphocyte differentiation; and thymus development. Acts upstream of or within B cell differentiation and T cell differentiation in thymus. Predicted to be located in nuclear body and nuclear membrane. Predicted to be active in nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; female reproductive system; jaw bone; submandibular gland primordium; and urinary system. Orthologous to human ZBTB1 (zinc finger and BTB domain containing 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for an ENU induced mutation exhibit abnormal thymus, B cell, and T cell differentiation, and reduced numbers of T, B, and NK cells in the spleen.
