Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA replication-dependent chromatin assembly; chromatin remodeling; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleus. Part of ESC/E(Z) complex and NuRD complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; gonad; hemolymphoid system gland; and retina nuclear layer. Orthologous to human RBBP4 (RB binding protein 4, chromatin remodeling factor). PHENOTYPE: Embryos homozygous for a knock-out allele fail to implant in vivo or form outgrowths in vitro and exhibit severe apoptosis, defective inner cell mass specification, hyperacetylated histones, and pre-implantation lethality.
