| Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 17765 |
| 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 and methylated histone binding activity. Involved in several processes, including epigenetic regulation of gene expression; segment specification; and stem cell population maintenance. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor. Part of ESC/E(Z) complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human MTF2 (metal response element binding transcription factor 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit vertebral transformation and delayed replicative senescence in MEFs. Mice homozygous for one gene trap allele exhibit postnatal lethality, vertebral transformation and delayed replicative senescence in MEFs. [provided by MGI curators] |
