| Primary Identifier | MGI:102523 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 18998 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; neuromuscular process controlling balance; and sensory perception of sound. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in genitourinary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 15. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 15. Orthologous to human POU4F3 (POU class 4 homeobox 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice with mutations in this gene show variable hearing and vestibular defects with cochlear hair cell defects in many cases. [provided by MGI curators] |
