| 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 cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within midbrain development; post-embryonic development; and thalamus development. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; future midbrain; genitourinary system; and trunk. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute lymphoblastic leukemia and adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma. Orthologous to human TAL2 (TAL bHLH transcription factor 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in growth retardation and lethality before reaching reproductive age. Mice exhibit brain abnormalities including a small superior colliculus and progressive hydrocephalus. [provided by MGI curators] |
