    Summary
    This gene is a member of the Cut family of transcription factors that have multiple DNA binding domains and regulate cell proliferation and differentiation. This gene is primarily expressed in nervous tissues where it controls the proliferation of neuronal precursors, and may play a role in organogenesis earlier during embryonic development. Mice lacking the encoded protein exhibit smaller spinal cords with deficits in neural progenitor development as well as in neuroblast and interneuron differentiation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]

    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.
