Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and protein dimerization activity. Involved in oocyte differentiation; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and spermatogenesis. Acts upstream of or within oogenesis; ovarian follicle development; and positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in cytoplasm and male germ cell nucleus. Is expressed in gonad and hindlimb long bone. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ovarian dysgenesis 5 and spermatogenic failure 32. Orthologous to human SOHLH1 (spermatogenesis and oogenesis specific basic helix-loop-helix 1). [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.
