Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within embryonic morphogenesis; pattern specification process; and regulation of apoptotic process. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in frontonasal dysplasia 1. Orthologous to human ALX3 (ALX homeobox 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in defects in glucose metabolism. Mice homozygous for a reporter allele exhibit partial preweaning lethality, open neural tube and craniofacial defects in some mice. [provided by MGI curators] |
