    Summary
    Enables HMG box domain binding activity; TBP-class protein binding activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; embryo ectoderm; gonad; and limb mesenchyme. Orthologous to human UTF1 (undifferentiated embryonic cell transcription factor 1). [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.
