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 positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adipose tissue development; brown fat cell differentiation; and positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human EBF2 (EBF transcription factor 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.
