description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within ectodermal cell fate commitment; mesoderm development; and primitive streak formation. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nucleoplasm; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and skeleton. Orthologous to human ETS2 (ETS proto-oncogene 2, transcription factor). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit defective trophoblast formation and die by embryonic day 8.5, but tetraploid chimeric rescue results in viable and fertile mutants with wavy hair. Mammary tumors induced in carriers are reduced in size. [provided by MGI curators] |
