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. Involved in epithelial to mesenchymal transition and odontogenesis. Acts upstream of or within regulation of odontogenesis. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; genitourinary system; limb ectoderm; limb epithelium; and tooth. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amelogenesis imperfecta type 1K. Orthologous to human SP6 (Sp6 transcription factor). [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.
