Also known as: Rox; bHLHd3
Summary: Enables DNA binding activity; DNA-binding transcription factor activity; and chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular senescence; negative regulation of apoptotic signaling pathway; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; future brain; genitourinary system; and retina nuclear layer. Used to study Miller-Dieker lissencephaly syndrome. Orthologous to human MNT (MAX network transcriptional repressor). [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.
