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. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and regulation of development, heterochronic. Located in female germ cell nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; eye; genitourinary system; heart; and lung. Used to study Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome type 1. Orthologous to human HMGN2 (high mobility group nucleosomal binding domain 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable. [provided by MGI curators] |
