Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; HMG box domain binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; nervous system development; and positive regulation of oligodendrocyte differentiation. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; epidermis; future brain; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human OLIG2 (oligodendrocyte transcription factor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
Expression: Biased expression in CNS E18 (RPKM 9.5), cortex adult (RPKM 8.7) and 5 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.
