    Summary
    Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; protein heterodimerization activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and retinal bipolar neuron differentiation. Predicted to act upstream of or within mRNA catabolic process; negative regulation of neuron differentiation; and somatic stem cell population maintenance. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human ZHX2 (zinc fingers and homeoboxes 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.
