Primary Identifier | MGI:2153084 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 228911 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Acts upstream of or within regulation of gene expression. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including forelimb; genitourinary system; heart valve; limb bud; and telencephalon. Orthologous to human TSHZ2 (teashirt zinc finger homeobox 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a transposon induced allele die in utero; cultured blastocysts fail to hatch. [provided by MGI curators] |
