Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including generation of neurons; positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; and regulation of axon extension. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system epithelium; eye; future brain; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in oral squamous cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human BARHL2 (BarH like homeobox 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

by acting upstream of Shh signaling pathway, Barhl2 plays a crucial role in patterning the progenitor domains and establishing the positional identities of progenitor cells in the diencephalon.
Title: Barhl2 Determines the Early Patterning of the Diencephalon by Regulating Shh.
The expression of Barhl2 in the thalamus and pretectum is related to, and regulated by, the expression of Pax6. Pax6 is known to be required for normal diencephalic development. The findings suggest that some of its actions might be mediated by its maintenance of a repressive influence over Barhl2 expression in the thalamus and pretectum.
Title: Expression of Barhl2 and its relationship with Pax6 expression in the forebrain of the mouse embryo.
results elucidate BARHL2 as a critical postmitotic regulator of dI1 subtype diversification, as well as its intermediate position in the dI1 genetic hierarchy

in the developing diencephalon, Caspase3 acts downstream of Barhl2 in limiting neuroepithelial cell proliferation by inhibiting beta-catenin activation.

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.
