Spen - spen family transcription repressor Gene

Also Known as Mint; mKIAA0929

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 56381

Summary

Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity; single-stranded DNA binding activity; and transcription corepressor activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription, DNA-templated and positive regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; sensory organ; and tooth. Orthologous to human SPEN (spen family transcriptional repressor).
