Primary Identifier | MGI:1929869 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 58180 |
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. Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in central nervous system; extraembryonic component; female reproductive system; heart; and urinary system. Orthologous to human HIC2 (HIC ZBTB transcriptional repressor 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous inactivation of this gene results in embryonic lethality. A subset of mice heterozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit prenatal lethality and cardiac defects including a ventricular septal defect with overriding aortic valve, and thin myocardial and trabecular layers.
