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 transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within embryo implantation; progesterone receptor signaling pathway; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; and skeleton. Orthologous to human KLF9 (KLF transcription factor 9). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice display only mild neurological defects evident by impaired performance in rotarod and contextual fear-conditioning tests. [provided by MGI curators] |
