Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 19697 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; actinin binding activity; and ankyrin repeat binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of protein sumoylation; positive regulation of canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to hepatocyte growth factor stimulus; negative regulation of extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway; and positive regulation of interleukin-12 production. Located in chromatin; cytosol; and nucleus. Part of NF-kappaB p50/p65 complex and transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; musculature; and skin. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ductal carcinoma in situ; lung non-small cell carcinoma; lymphoma; and renal cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human RELA (RELA proto-oncogene, NF-kB subunit). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice are embryonic lethal due to hepatic apoptosis. [provided by MGI curators] |
