Primary Identifier | MGI:2142008 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 101631 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable NuRD complex binding activity. Involved in chromatin remodeling; positive regulation of transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II; and regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Located in nucleus. Orthologous to human PWWP2B (PWWP domain containing 2B). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a conditional allele activated in adipose tissue exhibit increased adaptive thermogenesis and protection from high-fat diet induced obesity and metabolic dysregulation.
