Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 54446 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of gene expression; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and regulation of calcineurin-NFAT signaling cascade. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human NFAT5 (nuclear factor of activated T cells 5). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for one of several knock-out allele exhibit lethality between E14.5 and E17.5 as well as around P10 with kidney, cardiac or immune defects depending on the allele.
