Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within segment specification and somitogenesis. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including allantois; embryo mesoderm; primitive streak; tail; and unsegmented mesenchyme. Orthologous to human MSGN1 (mesogenin 1).

What's a GeneRIF?

Msgn1 functions downstream of Wnt3a as the master regulator of paraxial presomitic mesoderm differentiation.
Title: Mesogenin 1 is a master regulator of paraxial presomitic mesoderm differentiation.
Msgn1 exerts at least two functions in the mesoderm where it promotes differentiation into paraxial mesoderm, and is likely a key player in regulating cell migration.
Title: Interaction of Wnt3a, Msgn1 and Tbx6 in neural versus paraxial mesoderm lineage commitment and paraxial mesoderm differentiation in the mouse embryo.
The Wnt3a/beta-catenin target gene Mesogenin1 controls the segmentation clock by activating a Notch signalling program.
Title: The Wnt3a/β-catenin target gene Mesogenin1 controls the segmentation clock by activating a Notch signalling program.
The expression of mesogenin 1, a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor, which is essential for psm maturation, is regulated by synergism between WNT signalling and the T-box 6 transcription factor, involving a feed-forward control mechanism.
Title: Expression of Msgn1 in the presomitic mesoderm is controlled by synergism of WNT signalling and Tbx6.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
