Primary Identifier | MGI:1918029 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 70779 |
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 factor binding activity; DNA-binding transcription repressor 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 leukemia inhibitory factor. Predicted to be located in nuclear body and nucleolus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early embryo; and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in brittle cornea syndrome 2. Orthologous to human PRDM5 (PR/SET domain 5). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a hypomorphic allele display delayed bone ossification with reduced collagen fibril formation, total bone area, bone mineral content and bone mineral density.
