Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 18998 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; neuromuscular process controlling balance; and sensory perception of sound. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 15. Orthologous to human POU4F3 (POU class 4 homeobox 3). PHENOTYPE: Affected mice are slightly smaller than their littermates and exhibit vertical head-tossing, circling and general hyperactive behavior typical of the shaker-waltzer class of mutants.
