Summary
Enables identical protein binding activity. Involved in immune system development; positive regulation of chemokine production; and regulation of thymocyte migration. Acts upstream of or within humoral immune response; negative thymic T cell selection; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytoplasm; germ cell nucleus; and nuclear body. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study Guillain-Barre syndrome; Sjogren's syndrome; and autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome and autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1. Orthologous to human AIRE (autoimmune regulator).

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.

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (13) uses an alternate acceptor splice site in an internal exon and contains an alternate internal exon compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most expected translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
