| 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 factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; protein heterodimerization activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in retinal bipolar neuron differentiation. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; negative regulation of neuron differentiation; and somatic stem cell population maintenance. Is active in nucleus. Is expressed in brain; liver; and renal vasculature. Orthologous to human ZHX2 (zinc fingers and homeoboxes 2). PHENOTYPE: Alpha-fetoprotein levels in plasma decline precipitously after birth. This gene regulates a difference in adult level and rate of neonatal decrease of AFP. The BALB/cJ substrain carries a genetic variant allele determining a slow rate of decline to adultlevel. [provided by MGI curators] |
