Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including epigenetic regulation of gene expression; lung-associated mesenchyme development; and positive regulation of stem cell proliferation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; gonad; liver; primordial germ cell; and trunk. Orthologous to human DPPA2 (developmental pluripotency associated 2).
