Primary Identifier | MGI:96210 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 15438 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA binding activity and DNA-binding transcription factor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including limb morphogenesis; peripheral nervous system neuron development; and regionalization. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; gut; integumental system; and limb. Orthologous to human HOXD9 (homeobox D9). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted mutation exhibit anterior transformation of lumbar, sacral, and caudal vertebrae with abnormal humerus morphology. [provided by MGI curators] |
