Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 50708 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA binding activity. A structural constituent of chromatin. Acts upstream of or within chromatin organization and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in euchromatin. Is expressed in cerebral cortex ventricular layer; early conceptus; embryo; midbrain ventricular layer; and telencephalon ventricular layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Orthologous to human H1-2 (H1.2 linker histone, cluster member). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations are normal, but Hist1h1c/Hist1h1e double knockout males are significantly smaller than normal. The Hist1h1c/Hist1h1e/Hist1h1d triple knockout is lethal by embryonic day 12.5, and heterozygotes are underrepresented. [provided by MGI curators] |
