Primary Identifier | MGI:1196423 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 15379 |
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; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including epithelial cell differentiation; negative regulation of transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway; and spleen development. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; gut; liver and biliary system; retina; and urinary system. Orthologous to human ONECUT1 (one cut homeobox 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in partial postnatal lethality, billiary tract, pancreas, and islet of Langerhans abnormalities, growth retardation, and glucose and insulin metabolism defects. Conditional KO in the retina results in progressive retinal degeneration. [provided by MGI curators] |
