Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 13557 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA binding activity and DNA-binding transcription factor activity. Involved in negative regulation of fat cell proliferation. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription and positive regulation of cell population proliferation. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lung non-small cell carcinoma and prostate cancer. Orthologous to human E2F3 (E2F transcription factor 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit increased lethality prior to adulthood but otherwise appear normal. Mouse embryonic fibroblast cells from mice homozygous for a null allele are defective in cell cycle progression and exhibit reduced proliferation. [provided by MGI curators] |
