Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within regulation of branching involved in salivary gland morphogenesis. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and submandibular gland primordium. Orthologous to human BTBD7 (BTB domain containing 7). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display fetal and postnatal lethality, impaired branching morphogenesis in the submandibular salivary gland, lung and kidney, and impaired migration of submandibular gland outer bud cells.
