Primary Identifier | MGI:106589 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 16656 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in bone; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and nervous system. Orthologous to human HIVEP3 (HIVEP zinc finger 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in diminished IL-2 production by stimulated CD4 cells. Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased bone volume.
