| 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 RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in intestinal epithelial cell differentiation; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and regulation of somitogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including endosome to lysosome transport; in utero embryonic development; and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in condensed nuclear chromosome. Part of transcription repressor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; embryo mesoderm; genitourinary system; and gut. Orthologous to human CDX2 (caudal type homeobox 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations die prior to gastrulation. Heterozygotes exhibit tail abnormalities, stunted growth, defects of the vertebrae and ribs, and multiple intestinal adenomatous polyps. [provided by MGI curators] |
