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, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of cell growth and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and retina. Orthologous to human FOXK1 (forkhead box K1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are runted and exhibit a reduced myogenic progenitor cell population with impaired cell cycle progression (G0/G1 arrest) and decreased proliferative capacity that results in severe impairment of skeletal muscle regeneration following injury.
