Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within limb morphogenesis; negative regulation of smoothened signaling pathway; and olfactory bulb interneuron development. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; jaw; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human SALL3 (spalt like transcription factor 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display neonatal lethality with an impaired suckling ability, truncated soft palate, small epiglottis, and abnormal cranial nerve morphology.
