Gene information for Wt1 (Rattus norvegicus)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID24883
Official gene symbolWt1
Full nameWilms tumor 1
Aliases-
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a transcription factor that contains four zinc-finger motifs at the C-terminus and a proline/glutamine-rich DNA-binding domain at the N-terminus. It plays an essential role in the normal development of the urogenital system, and the human gene is mutated in a small subset of patients with Wilm's tumors. Authors of PMID:7926762 provide evidence that Wt1 mRNA undergoes RNA editing in human and rat, and that this process is tissue-restricted and developmentally regulated. [provided by RefSeq]
