Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within gamma-aminobutyric acid signaling pathway; response to ethanol; and swimming behavior. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in central nervous system; head; and heart tube. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; autism spectrum disorder (multiple); communication disorder (multiple); dyslexia; and major depressive disorder. Orthologous to human FOXP2 (forkhead box P2). [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.
