Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 21908 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; positive regulation of stem cell proliferation; and spleen development. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; branchial arch; ear; genitourinary system; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma. Orthologous to human TLX1 (T cell leukemia homeobox 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant embryos show cellular disorganization at the site of splenic development and never develop a spleen. [provided by MGI curators] |
