Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II core promoter sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of nervous system development and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including branching involved in blood vessel morphogenesis; nervous system development; and neural crest cell migration. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human GBX2 (gastrulation brain homeobox 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
