| Primary Identifier | MGI:97588 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 18736 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; chromatin binding activity; and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; positive regulation of biosynthetic process; and somatotropin secreting cell development. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; and trunk somite. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in combined pituitary hormone deficiency and pituitary gland disease. Orthologous to human POU1F1 (POU class 1 homeobox 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for spontaneous mutations exhibit hypoplasia of the anterior pituitary cells resulting in deficiencies in growth hormone, prolactin, and thyroid-stimulating hormone, dwarfism, and sterility.
