Primary Identifier | MGI:1343464 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 225998 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of osteoblast differentiation; neural retina development; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within retinal rod cell differentiation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; face; hindlimb; sensory organ; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in idiopathic generalized epilepsy 15. Orthologous to human RORB (RAR related orphan receptor B). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene have impaired vision and a variety of behavioral abnormalities. [provided by MGI curators] |
