Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 18022 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; WW domain binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including labyrinthine layer blood vessel development; negative regulation of bone mineralization; and positive regulation of peptidyl-lysine acetylation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including bone marrow; eye; genitourinary system; limb; and yolk sac. Orthologous to human NFE2 (nuclear factor, erythroid 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation lack platelets and most die as neonates from internal bleeding. Survivors exhibit hypochromia, reticulocytosis, and splenomegaly.
