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 cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in gamete generation and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; embryo ectoderm; genitourinary system; and retina. Orthologous to human NR6A1 (nuclear receptor subfamily 6 group A member 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations have cardiovascular abnormalities, defective trunk development, impaired somite formation, failure to turn, open neural tube and hindgut, protrusion of the tailbud outside the yolk sac and die by embryonic day 10.5.
