Primary Identifier | MGI:1929915 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 56406 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables several functions, including chromatin-protein adaptor activity; histone methyltransferase binding activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Acts upstream of or within brain development; circulatory system development; and positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study dilated cardiomyopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer; colon cancer; and lung cancer. Orthologous to human NCOA6 (nuclear receptor coactivator 6). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit retarded embryonic growth and defects of the placenta, heart, liver, and nervous system. Mutants die around midgestation.
