| Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 14842 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within nervous system development. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human GSX1 (GS homeobox 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele show partial neonatal and peri-weaning lethality, delayed eyelid opening, dwarfism, multiple hormone deficiencies, aberrant pituitary development, hypothalamic dysfunction, altered bone epiphyseal growth plates, low WBC counts, infertility and premature death.
