Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of neuron apoptotic process; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and retina development in camera-type eye. Acts upstream of or within response to insecticide. Located in chromatin. Biomarker of Parkinsonism and epilepsy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Parkinson's disease. Orthologous to human NR4A2 (nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 2). [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.
