Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in brain development; developmental growth; and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within adult feeding behavior and adult locomotory behavior. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo ectoderm; limb bud; male reproductive gland or organ; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human DMBX1 (diencephalon/mesencephalon homeobox 1). [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.
