Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 17829 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; p53 binding activity; and transcription coregulator activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including DNA damage response, signal transduction by p53 class mediator resulting in cell cycle arrest; negative regulation of intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to DNA damage by p53 class mediator; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in apical plasma membrane and cell surface. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; exocrine system; genitourinary system; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including allergic rhinitis; biliary tract benign neoplasm; dry eye syndrome; familial juvenile hyperuricemic nephropathy; and pancreatic cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human MUC1 (mucin 1, cell surface associated). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele display delayed mammary tumor progression, impaired intestinal absorption of cholesterol, decreased gastric mucus accumulation, reduced secretion and accumulation of gallbladder mucin, and decreased susceptibility to cholesterol gallstone formation.
