Primary Identifier | MGI:103012 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 104394 |
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 cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell volume homeostasis; cilium assembly; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in chromatin and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Used to study otitis media. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Lynch syndrome. Orthologous to human E2F4 (E2F transcription factor 4). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice die postnatally of an increased susceptibility to bacterial infection and exhibit craniofacial defects, erythroid abnormalities, and growth retardation.
