Primary Identifier | MGI:2146974 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 224903 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity and chromatin binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within estrogen receptor signaling pathway; hormone metabolic process; and regulation of growth. Predicted to be located in midbody and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; future brain; olfactory epithelium; reproductive system; and retina layer. Orthologous to human SAFB (scaffold attachment factor B). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display partial embryonic and neonatal lethality, neonatal cyanosis, impaired embryonic hematopoiesis, male sterility, azoospermia, reduced female fertility, impaired transport of embryos through the oviduct, reduced embryonic growth, testicular degeneration and ovarian atrophy.
