Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 21415 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity; beta-catenin binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including axial mesoderm morphogenesis; regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and somatic stem cell population maintenance. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and skin. Orthologous to human TCF7L1 (transcription factor 7 like 1). PHENOTYPE: Animals homozygous for a targeted mutation exhibit severe embryological defects particularly affecting the cardiovascular system, nervous system, and digestive system. No homozygous embryos survive beyond E11. [provided by MGI curators] |
