Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 228980 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within DNA-templated transcription and ovarian follicle development. Located in male germ cell nucleus. Is expressed in brain; spinal cord; tail; and thymus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder. Orthologous to human TAF4 (TATA-box binding protein associated factor 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for deletions of this marker die embryonically sometime around E9.5. Conditional expression of this allele in the epidermis causes skin barrier defects and defects in hair growth. [provided by MGI curators] |
