| 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; chromatin binding activity; and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cartilage condensation; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; limb; sensory organ; and skin. Orthologous to human BARX2 (BARX homeobox 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted gene deletion exhibit short whiskers at birth, defective juvenile hair follicle remodeling, and short adult hair. Fifty percent of homozygotes are born with open eyelids. [provided by MGI curators] |
