Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of cell differentiation and retina morphogenesis in camera-type eye. Predicted to be located in chromatin; cytosol; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; heart; nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study chromosome 1p36 deletion syndrome. Orthologous to human CASZ1 (castor zinc finger 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 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.
