    Summary
    Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity; single-stranded DNA binding activity; and transcription corepressor activity. Involved in random inactivation of X chromosome. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription and positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; sensory organ; and tooth. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in esophagus squamous cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human SPEN (spen family transcriptional repressor). [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.
