Chromosome | X | NCBI Gene Number | 94275 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables transcription coactivator activity. Involved in positive regulation of branching involved in ureteric bud morphogenesis; regulation of circadian rhythm; and regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of protein localization to nucleus; positive regulation of apoptotic signaling pathway; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in chromatin and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; egg cylinder; genitourinary system; hair follicle; and nervous system. Orthologous to human MAGED1 (MAGE family member D1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display defects in apoptotic signaling affecting hair cycling and neuronal physiology. Mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele exhibit hypoactivity, decreased exploration, social withdrawal, anhedonia, behavioral despair andaltered serotonin levels. [provided by MGI curators] |
