Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including floor plate development; regulation of dopaminergic neuron differentiation; and regulation of neurogenesis. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; future midbrain; genitourinary system; and liver. Orthologous to human FERD3L (Fer3 like bHLH transcription factor).

What's a GeneRIF?

Nato3 induces ectopic Foxa2-positive cells and indirectly downregulates Nkx2.2 expression.
Title: Nato3 plays an integral role in dorsoventral patterning of the spinal cord by segregating floor plate/p3 fates via Nkx2.2 suppression and Foxa2 maintenance.
Nato3 transcription is directly regulated by Foxa2 and increases in parallel to differentiation of dopaminergic cells.
Title: Nato3 integrates with the Shh-Foxa2 transcriptional network regulating the differentiation of midbrain dopaminergic neurons.
Data suggest that Nato3 is a direct target of Foxa2, a transcription activator and effector of Sonic hedgehog, the hallmark regulator of neural tube floor plate induction and spinal cord development.
Title: Foxa2 regulates the expression of Nato3 in the floor plate by a novel evolutionarily conserved promoter.
in the developing mesencephalon, loss of Nato3 did not affect floor plate (FP) differentiation, but led to loss of neurogenic activity in the medial subpopulation of mesFP cells by suppressing proneural gene expression and inducing cell cycle arrest
Title: The basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor Nato3 controls neurogenic activity in mesencephalic floor plate cells.

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.
