Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in several processes, including adenohypophysis development; regulation of myofibroblast cell apoptotic process; and response to oxygen-glucose deprivation. Located in nucleus. Used to study congestive heart failure. Biomarker of alcohol use disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer; nasal cavity cancer; and syndromic microphthalmia 3. Orthologous to human SOX2 (SRY-box transcription factor 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.
