Summary: Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and metal ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of cell population proliferation and stem cell proliferation. Is expressed in several structures, including EVL; digestive system; ectoderm; heart; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma. Orthologous to human KLF4 (KLF transcription factor 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 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.
