Primary Identifier | MGI:2684938 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 225518 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription; negative regulation of smooth muscle cell differentiation; and neurogenesis. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including arterial system; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; immune system; and trunk mesenchyme. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in patent ductus arteriosus. Orthologous to human PRDM6 (PR/SET domain 6). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit cardiovascular development defects. [provided by MGI curators] |
