Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and integumental system. Orthologous to human KLF3 (KLF transcription factor 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display reduced viability, body size and white adipose tissue. Mice homozygous for a gene trap allele exhibit cardiac defects, reduced body size and abnormal red blood cells. Mice heterozygous for an ENU-induced allele exhibit lethality with heart defects.
