description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Contributes to transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart; and hemolymphoid system gland. Orthologous to human NFYA (nuclear transcription factor Y subunit alpha). PHENOTYPE: Inactivation of this locus impairs development and results in embryonic lethality. [provided by MGI curators] |
