Primary Identifier | MGI:1336991 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 22062 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA binding activity and DNA-binding transcription factor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cerebrospinal fluid secretion; nervous system development; and regulation of apoptotic process. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including autopod; brain; sensory organ; tooth; and vibrissa. Used to study otitis media. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Epstein-Barr virus infectious disease; cervical cancer; colorectal cancer; kidney cancer (multiple); and lung cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human TP73 (tumor protein p73). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice display a variety of defects including hippocampal dysgenesis, hydrocephalus, chronic infections and inflammation, abnormal pheromone sensory pathways, eye abnormalities, impaired growth, and female infertility.
