Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in blood vessel development; negative regulation of DNA-binding transcription factor activity; and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within neuromuscular process controlling balance and regulation of growth. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including ganglia; genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; and yolk sac. Orthologous to human FOXS1 (forkhead box S1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for one reporter allele display enhanced rotarod performance and increased male resistance to diet-induced obesity. Homozygotes for another reporter allele show impaired testicular vasculature, including blood accumulation in fetal testis and marked apoptosis of periendothelial cells. [provided by MGI curators] |
