Primary Identifier | MGI:1918972 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 71722 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables chromatin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including learning or memory; negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and social behavior. Acts upstream of or within lung alveolus development and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Part of protein-containing complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; female reproductive system; hemolymphoid system; and urinary system. Used to study disease of mental health. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 45. Orthologous to human CIC (capicua transcriptional repressor). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trapped allele exhibit partial postnatal lethality, decreased body size, and severe lung alveolarization defects. Conditional knockout in embryonic neurons causes reduced brain size, severe growth retardation and preweaning lethality. [provided by MGI curators] |
