Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; neuromuscular process controlling balance; and sensory perception of sound. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 15. Orthologous to human POU4F3 (POU class 4 homeobox 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
Expression: Biased expression in whole brain E14.5 (RPKM 2.4), CNS E14 (RPKM 1.6) and 2 other tissues See more

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.
