Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 20585 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables ATP-dependent activity, acting on DNA. Involved in mRNA transcription by RNA polymerase II; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and regulation of neurogenesis. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; intestine; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human HLTF (helicase like transcription factor). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit neonatal lethality, spongiform encephalopathy with increased brain apoptosis, and hypoglycemia. Mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele fail to show fluoxetine-induced neurogenesis and behavioral responses. [provided by MGI curators] |
