Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in several processes, including epithelial cilium movement involved in determination of left/right asymmetry; positive regulation of type B pancreatic cell development; and type B pancreatic cell maturation. Acts upstream of or within determination of left/right symmetry. Located in chromatin. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; inner cell mass; pancreas; and sensory organ. Used to study visceral heterotaxy. Orthologous to human RFX3 (regulatory factor X3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display embryonic and perinatal lethality, impaired development of cilia on the embryonic node, abnormal left-right patterning, meso- and dextrocardia, and situs inversus in surviving adults.
