Summary: Enables sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and spermatogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including hematopoietic stem cell homeostasis; intracellular glucose homeostasis; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; gut; and skeleton. Orthologous to human FOXA3 (forkhead box A3).

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.
