| 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 decidualization; embryo development; and osteoblast proliferation. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of transcription factor AP-1 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and liver and biliary system. Used to study psoriasis and systemic lupus erythematosus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. Orthologous to human JUNB (JunB proto-oncogene, AP-1 transcription factor subunit). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mutants die between embryonic day 8.5-10 due to impaired placental development. Embryos are severely growth retarded, but cell proliferation is normal, reflecting a failure to establish vascular interactions with the maternal circulation. [provided by MGI curators] |
