Primary Identifier | MGI:105086 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 18985 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA binding activity and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in cellular response to virus; germinal center B cell differentiation; and positive regulation of interleukin-6 production. Predicted to be part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver and biliary system. Orthologous to human POU2AF1 (POU class 2 homeobox associating factor 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit reduced numbers of mature B cells, absence of germinal centers, and low serum levels of non-IgM immunoglobulins. [provided by MGI curators] |
