    Summary
    Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in anterior/posterior pattern specification; regulation of neurogenesis; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and suckling behavior. Predicted to be located in chromatin. Predicted to be part of transcription regulator complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. [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.
