Summary: Enables E-box binding activity and protein heterodimerization activity. Involved in positive regulation of neuron differentiation. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription and positive regulation of gene expression. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ.

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.

NM_001253862.1 → NP_001240791.1 transcription factor 12 isoform 2

See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_001240791.1

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) uses a different segment for its 5' UTR and lacks an alternate exon in the 3' coding region, compared to variant 1. The resulting protein (isoform 2) is shorter when it is compared to isoform 1.
