Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 17125 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; identical protein binding activity; and nucleic acid binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cell surface receptor protein serine/threonine kinase signaling pathway; osteoblast differentiation; and positive regulation of miRNA transcription. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including brain development; positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; and skeletal system development. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of homomeric SMAD protein complex and transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human SMAD1 (SMAD family member 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit impaired allantois formation resulting in the lack of a placenta, and die around embryonic day 9-10. [provided by MGI curators] |
