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. Involved in circadian regulation of gene expression; negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and response to cAMP. Acts upstream of or within glycosphingolipid metabolic process; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and spermatogenesis. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including liver; lung; palatal shelf; testis; and ureter. Orthologous to human CREM (cAMP responsive element modulator). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted mutations exhibit reduced regenerative capacity after partial hepatectomy and reduced cardiac function. Males are sterile due to a block in spermiogenesis associated with a lack of postmeiotic gene expression. [provided by MGI curators] |
