Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 15227 |
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. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including mesenchyme morphogenesis; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and respiratory system development. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; extraembryonic component; and genitourinary system. Used to study persistent fetal circulation syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in persistent fetal circulation syndrome. Orthologous to human FOXF1 (forkhead box F1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in mid-gestation lethality, defects in extraembryonic and lateral plate mesoderm differentiation, failure of embryo turning, absence of yolk sac and allantois vasculogenesis, retarded somite and posterior embryo development.
