Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable chromatin binding activity; lysine-acetylated histone binding activity; and molecular adaptor activity. Acts upstream of or within anterior/posterior pattern specification; gene expression; and segment specification. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; limb bud; and metatarsal bone. Orthologous to human MLLT3 (MLLT3 super elongation complex subunit). PHENOTYPE: About 50% of homozygous null mice die perinatally while the remaining 50% become runted and die within two weeks of birth with severe defects of the axial skeleton, including anterior homeotic transformation of the cervical and thoracic regions, a deformed atlas and an extra cervical vertebra.
