    Summary
    Predicted to enable DNA binding activity, bending and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Acts upstream of or within regulation of female gonad development and regulation of mitochondrial DNA metabolic process. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial nucleoid and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including digestive system; gonad; muscle; pericardial region; and somite. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; Huntington's disease; Parkinson's disease; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; and mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 15. Orthologous to human TFAM (transcription factor A, mitochondrial). [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.
