Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of neuron differentiation and neuron differentiation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo ectoderm; genitourinary system; peripheral nervous system; and retina. Orthologous to human ISL2 (ISL LIM homeobox 2).

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.
