Primary Identifier | MGI:1201409 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 18771 |
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, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including angiogenesis; hemopoiesis; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; branchial arch; genitourinary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PKNOX1 (PBX/knotted 1 homeobox 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in embryonic lethality during fetal growth and development with variable penetrance, decreased body weight, and impaired T cell development.
