Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II complex binding activity; and nuclear receptor coactivator activity. Involved in cell dedifferentiation; positive regulation of stem cell population maintenance; and regulation of stem cell division. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including labyrinthine layer morphogenesis; mammary gland branching involved in thelarche; and negative regulation of stem cell differentiation. Located in nucleus. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in obesity. Orthologous to human NCOA3 (nuclear receptor coactivator 3). PHENOTYPE: Nullizygous mice exhibit growth defects and reduced serum IGF-1 levels and may show impaired proliferative responses to various factors, delayed mammary gland growth and puberty, reproductive dysfunction, susceptibility to endotoxin shock, altered lymphopoiesis, and protection against obesity.
