Gcm1 - glial cells missing transcription factor 1 Gene

Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; histone deacetylase binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cell differentiation involved in embryonic placenta development; regulation of cell differentiation involved in embryonic placenta development; and transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including astrocyte fate commitment; branching involved in labyrinthine layer morphogenesis; and positive regulation of syncytium formation by plasma membrane fusion. Predicted to be part of transcription regulator complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human GCM1 (glial cells missing transcription factor 1).
