Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cell surface receptor signaling pathway; epithelial cell differentiation; and hair follicle cell proliferation. Acts upstream of or within blood vessel development; odontogenesis of dentin-containing tooth; and placenta development. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; branchial arch; genitourinary system; jaw; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amelogenesis imperfecta type 4 and trichodontoosseous syndrome. Orthologous to human DLX3 (distal-less homeobox 3).

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.
