description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables transcription corepressor activity. Involved in intestinal epithelial cell differentiation and negative regulation of Notch signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within epithelial cell differentiation and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; blastocyst; brain; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human CBFA2T2 (CBFA2/RUNX1 partner transcriptional co-repressor 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a null allele are smaller and show reduced numbers of intestinal goblet, Paneth and enteroendocrine cells, small intestine inflammation, and strain dependent postnatal lethality. Homozygotes for a different null allele are infertile due to defects in primordial germ cell maturation. [provided by MGI curators] |
