Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to heat. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; gut; male reproductive gland or organ; trunk somite; and urinary system. Orthologous to human TFEC (transcription factor EC). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable and fertile, normally pigmented, have normal eyes and mast cells, and show no evidence of osteopetrosis. [provided by MGI curators] |
