description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA binding activity. Involved in male meiosis I and spermatogenesis. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; genitourinary system; gut gland; liver and biliary system; and nervous system. Orthologous to human ZSCAN21 (zinc finger and SCAN domain containing 21). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation appear to be phenotypically normal. [provided by MGI curators] |
