Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 83396 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of smoothened signaling pathway and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including hematopoietic stem cell homeostasis; positive regulation of protein localization to nucleus; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in non-motile cilium and nuclear speck. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; gut; nervous system; oocyte; and retina layer. Used to study nephronophthisis 7. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nephronophthisis 7. Orthologous to human GLIS2 (GLIS family zinc finger 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a fusion allele exhibit decreased kidney weight, kidney atrophy, kidney cysts, and interstitial fibrosis. [provided by MGI curators] |
