Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable transcription elongation factor activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of cell growth; negative regulation of epithelial cell proliferation involved in prostate gland development; and positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; sensory organ; and tooth. Orthologous to human EAF2 (ELL associated factor 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit premature death, enlarged heart and prostate associated with hypertrophy, increased tumor incidence, prostate inflammation and an increased prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia incidence.
