| Primary Identifier | MGI:1917923 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 70673 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; transcription coactivator activity; and transcription corepressor activity. Involved in several processes, including beige fat cell differentiation; brown fat cell differentiation; and negative regulation of cell differentiation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of brown fat cell differentiation; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription repressor complex. Is active in chromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study left ventricular noncompaction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy 1LL. Orthologous to human PRDM16 (PR/SET domain 16). PHENOTYPE: Mutant mice exhibit a cleft secondary palate, whitening of brown adipose tissue in older or fed a high-fat diet, and impaired adaptive thermogenesis. [provided by MGI curators] |
