Summary: Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and SUMO ligase activity. Involved in several processes, including nervous system development; protein export from nucleus; and regulation of nervous system development. Acts upstream of or within with a negative effect on gene expression. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; regulation of ossification; and rhythmic behavior. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; head mesenchyme derived from neural crest; nervous system; neural ectoderm; and vibrissa. Used to study Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4E. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1D; Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 3; Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4E; and motor peripheral neuropathy. Orthologous to human EGR2 (early growth response 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.
