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; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin insulator sequence binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including oocyte development; ovarian follicle development; and parental behavior. Predicted to be located in chromatin; nucleolus; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in chromosome. Is expressed in several structures, including 4-cell stage embryo; central nervous system; genitourinary system; ileum; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in syndromic X-linked intellectual disability. Orthologous to human ZFX (zinc finger protein X-linked). PHENOTYPE: Male mice hemizygous or female mice homozygous for one knock-out allele exhibit reduced size, viability, and gametes. Another knock-out allele generates mice that exhibit embryonic lethality associated with abnormal extraembryonic tissue and reduction in hematopoietic stem cells. [provided by MGI curators] |
