Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables several functions, including RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and transcription coregulator activity. Involved in several processes, including B cell receptor signaling pathway; JNK cascade; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to dsRNA; cellular response to tumor necrosis factor; and regulation of gene expression. Located in cytosol. Part of NF-kappaB p50/p65 complex and transcription regulator complex. Is active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and integumental system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including carcinoma (multiple); common variable immunodeficiency 12; melanoma; prostate cancer; and tropical spastic paraparesis. Orthologous to human NFKB1 (nuclear factor kappa B subunit 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice have a decreased survivor rate, abnormal T cell development and decreased number of peripheral T cells, abnormal humoral responses with decreased immunoglobulin class switching, exhibit mild organ inflammation, and are susceptible toboth bacterial infections and hearing loss.
