Gene ID: 64444 | Gene type: protein coding

About Isl1

Summary

Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and Estrogen receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to glucocorticoid stimulus; negative regulation of intracellular Estrogen receptor signaling pathway; and positive regulation of Insulin secretion. Located in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 1 diabetes mellitus and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human ISL1 (ISL LIM homeobox 1).
