Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 14008 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell surface receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of endothelial cell differentiation; and positive regulation of mesoderm development. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in limb ischemia. Orthologous to human ETV2 (ETS variant transcription factor 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for null alleles die during organogenesis and lack blood vessels. In addition, mice homozygous for one allele lack endocardial cells, while mice homozygous for another allele lack blood cells. [provided by MGI curators] |
