Summary: Enables sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to glucose starvation; negative regulation of myotube differentiation; and neuron differentiation. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including cell-cell adhesion mediated by cadherin; intracellular distribution of mitochondria; and type B pancreatic cell maturation. Predicted to be located in chromatin. Predicted to be active in nucleus. [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.
