Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 19822 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including SUMO polymer binding activity; TBP-class protein binding activity; and nuclear receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; heart; and musculature. Orthologous to human RNF4 (ring finger protein 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display lethality throughout fetal growth and development with ventricular septal defects and cardiac insufficiency. MEFs from homozygous mice display global DNA hypermethylation. [provided by MGI curators] |
