    Summary
    Predicted to enable chromatin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including brown fat cell differentiation; defense response to bacterium; and response to cold. Predicted to be located in azurophil granule lumen and extracellular region. [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.
