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; DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; and sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of inflammatory response and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 1 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human ETS1 (ETS proto-oncogene 1, transcription factor). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit reduced numbers of peripheral CD8+ T cells, impaired TCR-mediated activation of both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, increased numbers of IgM-secreting plasma cells, and severely impaired NK cell development. Defects in cardiac neural crest cell migration and double outlet right ventricle are additionally observed. [provided by MGI curators] |
