Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 14461 |
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 activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and transcription coactivator binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of cell differentiation; neuron differentiation; and regulation of myeloid cell differentiation. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and inner ear. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute myeloid leukemia; depressive disorder; immunodeficiency 21; myelodysplastic syndrome; and myeloid leukemia. Orthologous to human GATA2 (GATA binding protein 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutants show reduced placental secretion of angiogenic factors, hematopoietic defects, enlarged pericardial sacs, reduced numbers of V2-expressing interneurons of ventral spinal cord, and die by embryonic day 11.5.
