| 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 activity; DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; and enzyme binding activity. Contributes to RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including liver development; positive regulation of metabolic process; and response to bacterium. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including mammary gland epithelium development; positive regulation of osteoblast differentiation; and regulation of gene expression. Located in chromosome; cytoplasm; and nuclear matrix. Part of C/EBP complex. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; connective tissue; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; and integumental system. Used to study osteochondrodysplasia and viral infectious disease. Orthologous to human CEBPB (CCAAT enhancer binding protein beta). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit high neonatal hypoglycemia and mortality, reduced epididymal fat pad weight, susceptibility to Listeria monocytogenes, female sterility, impaired mammary development, and resistance to skin carcinogenesis.
