Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity and E-box binding activity. Involved in heart looping and swim bladder formation. Acts upstream of or within heart development; regulation of neural retina development; and regulation of skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nuclear speck. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; neural crest cell; optic cup; optic vesicle; and trunk. Orthologous to human ATOH8 (atonal bHLH transcription factor 8). [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.
