Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity; DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including regulation of alpha-beta T cell differentiation; regulation of gene expression; and response to retinoic acid. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including hair follicle morphogenesis; hemopoiesis; and nervous system development. Located in basement membrane and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute myeloid leukemia and esophagus squamous cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human RUNX1 (RUNX family transcription factor 1). PHENOTYPE: Mutations affect hematopoiesis, and in some cases result in defective angiogenesis and intraventricular hemorrhage. Null homozygotes die by embryonic day 12.5; heterozygotes have reduced erythroid and myeloid progenitor numbers. [provided by MGI curators] |
