Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including endothelial cell differentiation; negative regulation of Wnt signaling pathway; and spleen development. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; branchial arch; central nervous system; limb; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human BARX1 (BARX homeobox 1).

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.
