description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; HMG box domain binding activity; and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of angiogenesis; negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and regulation of signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including forebrain development; hepaticobiliary system development; and tube morphogenesis. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; gut; liver and biliary system; and metanephros. Orthologous to human HHEX (hematopoietically expressed homeobox). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit embryonic lethality associated with abnormal embryogenesis and cardiac development. Mice homozygous for another knock-out allele exhibit embryonic lethality, fetal lethality and abnormal nervous system development. [provided by MGI curators] |
