This nuclear protein probably functions as a transcription factor in early stages of left-right body axis formation. Mutations in this gene cause X-linked visceral heterotaxy, which includes congenital heart disease and left-right axis defects in organs. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. * **UniProt Summary**: Acts as transcriptional activator. Required in the earliest stages in both axial midline development and left-right (LR) asymmetry specification. Binds to the minimal GLI-consensus sequence 5'-GGGTGGTC-3'. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17764085}. |zf-C2H2| |determination of left/right asymmetry in nervous system| |determination of pancreatic left/right asymmetry| |determination of liver left/right asymmetry| |determination of digestive tract left/right asymmetry| |heart looping| |somatic stem cell population maintenance| |embryonic heart tube morphogenesis| |determination of heart left/right asymmetry| |pancreas development| |embryonic heart tube development| |determination of left/right symmetry| |determination of bilateral symmetry| |specification of symmetry| |liver development| |hepaticobiliary system development| |digestive tract development| |stem cell population maintenance| |maintenance of cell number| |digestive system development| |lung development| |respiratory tube development| |respiratory system development| |anterior/posterior pattern specification| |heart morphogenesis| |embryonic organ morphogenesis| |epithelial tube morphogenesis| |RNA polymerase II regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding| |regionalization| |gland development| |sequence-specific DNA binding| |morphogenesis of an epithelium| |embryonic organ development| |pattern specification process| |DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific| |RNA polymerase II proximal promoter sequence-specific DNA binding| |heart development| |tissue morphogenesis| |embryonic morphogenesis| |tube morphogenesis| |DNA-binding transcription factor activity| |tube development| |circulatory system development| |animal organ morphogenesis| |embryo development| |central nervous system development| |epithelium development| |positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II| |positive regulation of transcription, DNA-templated| |DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific| |positive regulation of nucleic acid-templated transcription| |positive regulation of RNA biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of RNA metabolic process| |tissue development| |positive regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process| |positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of cellular biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of gene expression| |positive regulation of biosynthetic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found. ^Gene^Correlation^ |[[:human genes:r:rrm1|RRM1]]|0.516| Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 0/694 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|0/28| |blood|0/26| |bone|0/26| |breast|0/30| |central nervous system|0/49| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|0/17| |esophagus|0/11| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/14| |kidney|0/18| |liver|0/19| |lung|0/72| |lymphocyte|0/16| |ovary|0/25| |pancreas|0/22| |peripheral nervous system|0/15| |plasma cell|0/12| |prostate|0/1| |skin|0/20| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/28| |uterus|0/5| == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **Essentiality Rank**: 16706 * **Expression level (log2 read counts)**: -0.93 {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}}
