Primary Identifier | MGI:1928377 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | X | NCBI Gene Number | 56501 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including lymphocyte proliferation; negative regulation of cytokine production; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in PML body. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ELF4 (E74 like ETS transcription factor 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene have hematopoietic cells with impaired proliferative properties. Lymphocyte development and function is altered, particularly with respect to NK cells and NK-T cells. [provided by MGI curators] |
