Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within embryonic limb morphogenesis; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and proximal/distal pattern formation. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; eye; and genitourinary system.
