    Also known as

    Summary
    Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including enteroendocrine cell differentiation; regulation of axon extension; and regulation of oligodendrocyte differentiation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; future brain; gut; and trachea. Orthologous to human NKX6-1 (NK6 homeobox 1).

    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.
