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 and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within bone development. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human BBX (BBX high mobility group box domain containing). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele show increased IgA level, abnormal tooth morphology, and a reduction in heart weight, lean body mass, body length, long bone length, bone mineral density, and bone strength.
