Primary Identifier | MGI:1298228 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 15220 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within hair follicle morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; phalanx; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human FOXQ1 (forkhead box Q1). PHENOTYPE: Mutations in this gene affect coat color and texture. [provided by MGI curators] |
