Primary Identifier | MGI:108056 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 18027 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA binding activity and chromatin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including BMP signaling pathway; limb morphogenesis; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including exit from mitosis; nervous system development; and ureter development. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in NFIA-related disorder. Orthologous to human NFIA (nuclear factor I A). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display perinatal lethality, hydrocephalus, agenesis of the corpus callosum and hippocampal commissure. Fertility is surviving homozygotes is compromised. A decrease in the number of heterozygous animals is associated with a maternal effect. [provided by MGI curators] |
