Summary
Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; E-box binding activity; and histone deacetylase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including DNA damage response, signal transduction by p53 class mediator resulting in transcription of p21 class mediator; negative regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic signaling pathway and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of transcription repressor complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human TFAP4 (transcription factor AP-4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 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.
