Primary Identifier | MGI:99951 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 17135 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Acts upstream of or within regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; eye; genitourinary system; and immune system. Orthologous to human MAFK (MAF bZIP transcription factor K). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable, fertile, healthy and phenotypically normal with no detectable erythroid deficiencies. [provided by MGI curators] |
