Primary Identifier | MGI:104856 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 19885 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and transcription coactivator binding activity. Involved in several processes, including circadian regulation of gene expression; hematopoietic or lymphoid organ development; and regulation of primary metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including T cell differentiation; mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue development; and regulation of gamma-delta T cell differentiation. Located in external side of plasma membrane and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system; and sensory organ. Used to study Sjogren's syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in immunodeficiency 42. Orthologous to human RORC (RAR related orphan receptor C). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit lack of peripheral and mesenteric lymph nodes and Peyer's patches, reduced numbers of thymocytes, and increased apoptosis with loss of thymic expression of anti-apoptosic factor Bcl-xL.
