| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of cell adhesion; regulation of gene expression; and regulation of locomotor rhythm. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; foot; genitourinary system; and lung. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial atrial fibrillation; hepatocellular carcinoma; lung non-small cell carcinoma (multiple); prostate cancer; and spinocerebellar ataxia type 4. Orthologous to human ZFHX3 (zinc finger homeobox 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trapped allele exhibit normal initial pituitary development but reduced GH and TSH-beta staining within the pituitary by E17.5. Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit prenatal lethality. Mice heterozygous for the same allele exhibit partial postnatal lethality, decreased body size and prolonged conception time.
