Summary: Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; histone deacetylase binding activity; and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase regulator activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cycloheximide; negative regulation of intracellular signal transduction; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in chromatin. Part of transcription regulator complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatocellular carcinoma. Orthologous to human KLF4 (KLF transcription factor 4).

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.
