Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and protein heterodimerization activity. Involved in mRNA transcription by RNA polymerase II; myoblast fate commitment; and positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including multicellular organismal-level iron ion homeostasis; norepinephrine metabolic process; and surfactant homeostasis. Located in cytoplasm and nuclear speck. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; nervous system; and respiratory system. Used to study newborn respiratory distress syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial erythrocytosis 4; lung non-small cell carcinoma; polycythemia; and pulmonary hypertension. Orthologous to human EPAS1 (endothelial PAS domain protein 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 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.
