Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 66830 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in cell junction and nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including blastocyst; cartilage; gut epithelium; nervous system; and otocyst. Orthologous to human NACC1 (nucleus accumbens associated 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit decreased sensitivity to cocaine and amphetamine. Mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele exhibit thoracic vertebral transformation and loss of the sixth lumbar vertebrae with decreaed rib number and reduced chondrocyte migration.
