Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; aryl hydrocarbon receptor binding activity; and protein heterodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of apoptotic process; response to estradiol; and response to hypoxia. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of aryl hydrocarbon receptor complex and transcription regulator complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human ARNT2 (aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator 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.
