Also known as: AP-4; Tcfap4; bHLHc41; D930048N17Rik
Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; gut; and hemolymphoid system gland. Orthologous to human TFAP4 (transcription factor AP-4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
Expression: Ubiquitous expression in limb E14.5 (RPKM 3.3), CNS E11.5 (RPKM 2.6) and 28 other tissues See more

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.
