Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; identical protein binding activity; and transcription coregulator activity. Involved in Schwann cell development; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and response to lipopolysaccharide. Predicted to be located in clathrin-coated pit and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in branchiooculofacial syndrome. Orthologous to human TFAP2A (transcription factor AP-2 alpha).

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.
