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. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and regulation of neuron migration. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in future hindbrain; nervous system; and retina. Orthologous to human SCRT2 (scratch family transcriptional repressor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

This study revealed that a modulatory role of Scrt2 protein in cortical neurogenesis and neuronal migration.
Title: Scratch2 modulates neurogenesis and cell migration through antagonism of bHLH proteins in the developing neocortex.
From perinatal to adult stages, Scratch2 expression progressively diminishes and virtually no expression can be detected in the adult brain.

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.
