Mgi Type | miRNA gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity and chromatin binding activity. Involved in chromatin organization. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cardiac muscle hypertrophy in response to stress; cellular response to trichostatin A; and establishment of protein localization to chromatin. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in heart and soleus. Orthologous to human MIR208B (microRNA 208b). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit no overt abnormalities.
