Primary Identifier | MGI:104793 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 12395 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables identical protein binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of fat cell differentiation. Acts upstream of or within fat cell differentiation and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human RUNX1T1 (RUNX1 partner transcriptional co-repressor 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous disruption of this gene results in increased perinatal lethality and surviving animals show severe growth retardation. The midgut is absent in 25% of mutant animals which could explain increased perinatal mortality. Surviving animals display thinned intestinal walls and dilated lumens. [provided by MGI curators] |
