Primary Identifier | MGI:105084 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 20230 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity; DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including T cell activation; negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and reflex. Located in heterochromatin and nuclear matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study Sjogren's syndrome. Orthologous to human SATB1 (SATB homeobox 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mice for a targeted null mutation exhibit reduced size of the lymphoid organs, abnormal T cell development, general growth retardation and die by 3-4 weeks of age. Mice homozegous for a different targeted allele exhibit postnatal growth retardation and postnatal lethality. [provided by MGI curators] |
