description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in DNA damage response, signal transduction by p53 class mediator resulting in transcription of p21 class mediator; positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and positive regulation of double-strand break repair. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of stem cell proliferation; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and vasculogenesis. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study hepatocellular carcinoma; lung cancer; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human FOXM1 (forkhead box M1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele die in utero exhibiting reduced hepatoblast mitosis, impaired liver, bile duct and lung development, myocardial defects and ventricular hypoplasia. Most homozygotes for another null allele die perinatally with myocardialdefects and polyploidy in heart and liver. [provided by MGI curators] |
