Primary Identifier | MGI:107457 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 109889 |
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; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Is expressed in bladder; central nervous system; male associated reproductive structure; testis; and urethra of male. Orthologous to human MZF1 (myeloid zinc finger 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutants are prone to late-onset (>2 yr) neoplasias characterized by infiltration, enlargement and disruption of the liver by monomorphic cells of myeloid origin; hemopoietic progenitors show increased ability to sustain long-term hemopoiesis.
