Primary Identifier | MGI:102755 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 22724 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; histone deacetylase binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of signal transduction; regulation of alpha-beta T cell activation; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within regulation of alpha-beta T cell differentiation and regulation of gene expression. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early conceptus; forebrain; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ZBTB7B (zinc finger and BTB domain containing 7B). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutants exhibit absence of peripheral T cells of the CD4+CD8- MHC class II-restricted T helper subset due to a specific block in thymic development. [provided by MGI curators] |
