Chromosome | X | NCBI Gene Number | 93837 |
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 factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within development of primary female sexual characteristics. Predicted to be part of transcription regulator complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; gut; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human DACH2 (dachshund family transcription factor 2). PHENOTYPE: Targeted disruption of this gene results in homozygous females and hemizygous males that are viable, fertile and do not display gross defects in eye development or brain function.
