Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity and histone H3K36 demethylase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cardiac muscle cell contraction; heterochromatin formation; and in utero embryonic development. Part of protein-containing complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early conceptus; forelimb bud; genitourinary system; and liver. Orthologous to human UTY (ubiquitously transcribed tetratricopeptide repeat containing, Y-linked). PHENOTYPE: Mutant male mice hemizygous for a gene trapped allele are viable and fertile.
