Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 230700 |
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 activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in male meiosis I and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human FOXJ3 (forkhead box J3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice have an abnormal skeletal muscle fiber type ratio in males as well as defects in muscle regeneration following injury. [provided by MGI curators] |
