| Primary Identifier | MGI:1330307 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 226049 |
| 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; RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within embryonic skeletal system development; positive regulation of myotome development; and regulation of somitogenesis. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; branchial arch; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and long bone. Orthologous to human DMRT2 (doublesex and mab-3 related transcription factor 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene display perinatal lethality due to breathing difficulties, multiple axial skeletal defects including kinked tails and rib and vertebral malformations, and abnormal somite organization.
