Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of gliogenesis; positive regulation of inner ear receptor cell differentiation; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including generation of neurons; neuroblast migration; and positive regulation of inner ear auditory receptor cell differentiation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; inner ear; and skin. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness. Orthologous to human ATOH1 (atonal bHLH transcription factor 1).

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.
