Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity; E-box binding activity; and protein heterodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis; positive regulation of brown fat cell differentiation; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within regulation of osteoclast differentiation. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; branchial arch; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and gut. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in renal cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human TFE3 (transcription factor binding to IGHM enhancer 3). [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.
