About Plag1

Summary

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of gene expression; positive regulation of gene expression; and positive regulation of glial cell proliferation. Acts upstream of or within gland morphogenesis and prostate gland growth. Predicted to be located in centrosome; cytosol; and nuclear speck. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; embryo ectoderm; genitourinary system; limb bud; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Silver-Russell syndrome and pleomorphic adenoma. Orthologous to human PLAG1 (PLAG1 zinc finger). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
