Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within hypothalamus development. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in brain; head; presumptive diencephalon; swim bladder; and thyroid follicle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in choreatic disease and papillary thyroid carcinoma. Orthologous to human NKX2-1 (NK2 homeobox 1). [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.
