Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 12014 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in import into nucleus and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including ganglia; limb bud; reproductive system; telencephalon; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in immunodeficiency 60. Orthologous to human BACH2 (BTB domain and CNC homolog 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display impaired B cell differentiation and reduced B cell numbers. [provided by MGI curators] |
