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. Acts upstream of or within in utero embryonic development; regulation of epidermal cell differentiation; and skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; branchial arch; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and limb. Orthologous to human MAFF (MAF bZIP transcription factor F). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice are viable and fertile and show no obvious functional deficiencies. [provided by MGI curators] |
