Primary Identifier | MGI:1354948 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 50794 |
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 negative regulation of cell population proliferation and negative regulation of erythrocyte differentiation. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; heart; and neural retina. Orthologous to human KLF13 (KLF transcription factor 13). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a disruption in this gene are grossly normal. Prolonged thymocyte survival leads to an enlarged thymus and spleen. Mice homozygous for a different allele exhibit splenomegaly and abnormal erythropoiesis. [provided by MGI curators] |
