Primary Identifier | MGI:107628 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 110593 |
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; DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within determination of adult lifespan. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in forelimb cartilage condensation; forelimb long bone; and tendon. Orthologous to human PRDM2 (PR/SET domain 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice have shortened life spans, becoming moribund due to increased incidence of tumors. Mice had a broad spectrum of unusual tumors in multiple organs, with a high incidence of diffuse large B cell lymphomas. [provided by MGI curators] |
