| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| 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. Involved in several processes, including embryonic morphogenesis; kidney development; and positive regulation of chondrocyte proliferation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chondrocyte differentiation; condensed mesenchymal cell proliferation; and embryonic organ morphogenesis. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study cleft palate. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in renal Wilms' tumor. Orthologous to human SIX2 (SIX homeobox 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene die shortly after birth and exhibit abnormal kidney development. Abnormalities include small kidney, lack of ureteric bud branches throughout the kidney, increased apoptosis and premature and arrested nephron development. [provided by MGI curators] |
