Primary Identifier | MGI:101941 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 13555 |
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 and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of fat cell differentiation; negative regulation of fat cell proliferation; and response to lipopolysaccharide. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including anoikis; intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway by p53 class mediator; and lens fiber cell apoptotic process. Located in chromatin and cytoplasm. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; and lung. Used to study Sjogren's syndrome and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lung carcinoma (multiple); osteosarcoma; and pancreatic adenocarcinoma (multiple). Orthologous to human E2F1 (E2F transcription factor 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutants show defective T lymphocyte development, impaired pancreatic growth and beta cell function, altered glucose homeostasis, testicular atrophy, salivary gland and adipose tissue defects, and increased tumor induction.
