Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 12151 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables promoter-specific chromatin binding activity and ubiquitin-protein transferase activator activity. Involved in positive regulation of B cell proliferation and positive regulation of immature T cell proliferation in thymus. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chordate embryonic development; negative regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; and regulation of adaxial/abaxial pattern formation. Located in heterochromatin and nuclear body. Part of PRC1 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute myeloid leukemia; colorectal carcinoma; hepatocellular carcinoma; and renal Wilms' tumor. Orthologous to human BMI1 (BMI1 proto-oncogene, polycomb ring finger) and COMMD3-BMI1 (COMMD3-BMI1 readthrough). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mutants display severe hematopoietic defects, neurological abnormalities, posterior transformation, and infertility in both sexes. [provided by MGI curators] |
