Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within brain development; camera-type eye development; and negative regulation of smoothened signaling pathway. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including mesoderm; nervous system; neural keel; pleuroperitoneal region; and somite. Used to study Coffin-Siris syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Coffin-Siris syndrome 9. Orthologous to human SOX11 (SRY-box transcription factor 11). [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.
