Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 53626 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA binding activity; DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; and cyclin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including glandular epithelial cell differentiation; nervous system development; and norepinephrine biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of cell migration; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and type B pancreatic cell development. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; branchial arch; gut; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human INSM1 (INSM transcriptional repressor 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele display perinatal and neonatal lethality, respiratory failure, and impaired pancreatic and intestinal endocrine cell development.
