Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 13796 |
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 activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; neuroepithelial cell differentiation; and regulation of oligodendrocyte progenitor proliferation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; ileum; nervous system; sensory organ; and surface ectoderm. Orthologous to human EMX1 (empty spiracles homeobox 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice with this mutation are viable and fertile. [provided by MGI curators] |
