Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Rattus
Also known as: Sgn1
Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; salivary gland development; and sensory epithelium regeneration. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of transcription regulator complex. Orthologous to human ASCL3 (achaete-scute family bHLH transcription factor 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
Expression: Biased expression in Thymus (RPKM 15.6), Lung (RPKM 4.6) and 3 other tissues See more

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.
