Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell differentiation; embryonic skeletal system development; and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; jaw; limb ectoderm; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in orofacial cleft 15. Orthologous to human DLX4 (distal-less homeobox 4). [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.
