Primary Identifier | MGI:1925255 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 106298 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables RNA polymerase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway by p53 class mediator; regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and transcription initiation at RNA polymerase I promoter. Predicted to be located in nucleolus. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Used to study Parkinson's disease. Orthologous to several human genes including RRN3 (RRN3 homolog, RNA polymerase I transcription factor). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display embryonic lethality during organogenesis, failure to undergo embryonic turning, delayed embryonic development, markedly reduced embryo size, and increased apoptosis.
