Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in intestinal epithelial cell differentiation; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and regulation of somitogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including endosome to lysosome transport; in utero embryonic development; and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in condensed nuclear chromosome. Part of transcription repressor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; embryo mesoderm; genitourinary system; and gut. Orthologous to human CDX2 (caudal type 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.
