Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable cAMP response element binding protein binding activity; chromatin binding activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in gluconeogenesis; glucose homeostasis; and positive regulation of CREB transcription factor activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; ear; integumental system; limb; and nervous system. Orthologous to human CRTC2 (CREB regulated transcription coactivator 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased circulating corticosterone levels, hepatocyte secretion of glucose in response to glucagon, and glycogen levels in liver and muscle cells.
