Summary: Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and transcription coactivator binding activity. Involved in several processes, including heart development; negative regulation of apoptotic process; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic morphogenesis; heart development; and male gonad development. Located in chromatin and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; embryo mesenchyme; gut; heart; and reproductive system. Used to study atrial heart septal defect 2 and congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital heart disease (multiple). Orthologous to human GATA4 (GATA binding protein 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 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.
