Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity and double-stranded DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cycloheximide; cellular response to hydrogen peroxide; and cellular response to peptide. Predicted to be located in cytosol; fibrillar center; and nucleoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in prostate cancer and stomach cancer. Orthologous to human KLF6 (KLF transcription factor 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 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.
