Primary Identifier | MGI:1918625 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 71375 |
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 factor activity and cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within craniofacial suture morphogenesis. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; immune system; peripheral nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human FOXN3 (forkhead box N3). PHENOTYPE: Hypomorphic homozygous knockout affects the expression of osteogenic genes and leads to craniofacial abnormalities and reduces pre- and postnatal survival. [provided by MGI curators] |
