Also known as: GABPalpha
Summary: Enables RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity and chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within blastocyst formation; negative regulation of megakaryocyte differentiation; and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human GABPA (GA binding protein transcription factor subunit alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]

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.
