Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of leukocyte activation and regulation of leukocyte differentiation. Located in chromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including brown fat; central nervous system; gonad; renal vasculature; and spleen. Orthologous to human ZBTB46 (zinc finger and BTB domain containing 46). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit repressed altered myeloid potential in dendritic cells. Mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele exhibit partial activation of classical dendritic cells in the steady state. [provided by MGI curators] |
