Summary: Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; HMG box domain binding activity; and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of angiogenesis; negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and regulation of signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including forebrain development; hepaticobiliary system development; and tube morphogenesis. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; gut; liver and biliary system; and metanephros. Orthologous to human HHEX (hematopoietically expressed homeobox). [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.
