Primary Identifier | MGI:1920819 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 73569 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; heart; nervous system; skeletal musculature; and trunk mesenchyme. Orthologous to human VGLL3 (vestigial like family member 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable and overtly normal with no apparent defects in skeletal muscle development or myoblast function. Mice from another knock-out allele show attenuated myocardial infraction-induced cardiac fibrosis and cardiac function. [provided by MGI curators] |
