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 activator 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 neural tube development. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; metanephros; neural ectoderm; reproductive system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in coloboma. Orthologous to human SALL2 (spalt like transcription factor 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in no apparent abnormal phenotypes. [provided by MGI curators] |
