description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity and promoter-specific chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and retina. Used to study retinoblastoma and urinary bladder cancer. Orthologous to human RBL1 (RB transcriptional corepressor like 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations are viable and fertile, but may show impaired growth, myeloid hyperplasia in spleen and liver and give rise to cells with a 2X doubling time in vitro. These effects are genetic background dependent. [provided by MGI curators] |
