Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity; chromatin binding activity; and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cartilage condensation; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; limb; sensory organ; and skin. Orthologous to human BARX2 (BARX homeobox 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.
