Summary
Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; chromatin DNA binding activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; lens epithelium; notochord; retina; and spleen. Orthologous to human TOX2 (TOX high mobility group box family member 2).

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.
