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 several processes, including neuroblast delamination; otic vesicle development; and regionalization. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including blastodisc; germ ring; mesoderm; neural keel; and pharyngeal arch. Orthologous to human GSC (goosecoid homeobox).

GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

What's a GeneRIF?

Goosecoid (Gsc), best known for regulating cellular dynamics in the Spemann organizer, regulates delamination of neuroblasts in the otic vesicle.
Title: Spemann organizer gene Goosecoid promotes delamination of neuroblasts from the otic vesicle.
these data suggest that Lnx-2b maintains the integrity of the ectodermal tissues via suppressing gsc expression which can be driven by the coordinated action of nodal-related factors and Boz.
Title: Lnx-2b restricts gsc expression to the dorsal mesoderm by limiting Nodal and Bozozok activity.
Gsc has dose dependent effects on axis induction and provide new insights into molecularly distinct short- and long-range signaling activities of the organizer.
Title: Short- and long-range functions of Goosecoid in zebrafish axis formation are independent of Chordin, Noggin 1 and Follistatin-like 1b.
FoxA3 and goosecoid cooperate to promote formation of anterior neural tissue by protecting, as early as blastula stage, presumptive anterior neural cells from an irreversible caudalization by the posteriorizing factor Wnt8a.
Title: FoxA3 and goosecoid promote anterior neural fate through inhibition of Wnt8a activity before the onset of gastrulation.

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.
