    Summary
    Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including lens fiber cell differentiation; regulation of chondrocyte differentiation; and regulation of gene expression. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and zeugopod. Used to study cataract 21 multiple types and multiple myeloma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Ayme-Gripp syndrome; cataract; and cataract 21 multiple types. Orthologous to human MAF (MAF bZIP transcription factor). [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.
