| 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 and cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including enteroendocrine cell differentiation; neurogenesis; and positive regulation of cell differentiation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; neural ectoderm; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human NKX2-2 (NK2 homeobox 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mutants die within a few days of birth with severe hyperglycemia due to arrested differentiation of pancreatic beta cells. Mutant embryos exhibit retarded oligodendrocyte differentiation and a virtual loss of serotonergic neurons at the r2 level of the hindbrain. [provided by MGI curators] |
