Summary: Enables transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in several processes, including entrainment of circadian clock by photoperiod; positive regulation of retinal ganglion cell axon guidance; and response to auditory stimulus. Acts upstream of or within circadian rhythm; entrainment of circadian clock; and neural retina development. Located in axon; nucleus; and perikaryon. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; genitourinary system; liver; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous. Orthologous to human ATOH7 (atonal bHLH transcription factor 7).

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.
