Summary: Enables mRNA 3'-UTR binding activity and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in several processes, including myofibroblast contraction; regulation of glial cell differentiation; and regulation of mRNA metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including long-chain fatty acid biosynthetic process; spermatid development; and vasculature development. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; craniocervical region bone; reproductive system; sensory organ; and yolk sac. Orthologous to human QKI (QKI, KH domain containing RNA binding). [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.
