    Summary
    Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. Orthologous to human HSF2 (heat shock transcription factor 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.
