Summary: Enables DNA binding activity and zinc ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including astrocyte fate commitment; embryonic placenta development; and positive regulation of syncytium formation by plasma membrane fusion. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including extraembryonic component; limb; metanephros; placenta; and thymus. Orthologous to human GCM1 (glial cells missing 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.
