description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; egg cylinder; and hemolymphoid system. Orthologous to human AFF1 (ALF transcription elongation factor 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation exhibit impaired B and T cell development. Heterozygotes for an ENU-induced mutation exhibit small size, ataxia, adult-onset Purkinje cell loss, cataracts, reduced survival, and low fertility. [provided by MGI curators] |
