Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in several processes, including axis specification; nervous system development; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Acts upstream of or within anterior/posterior pattern specification and heart looping. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; egg cylinder; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and visual system. Used to study Goldenhar syndrome and visceral heterotaxy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in X-linked VACTERL association; situs inversus; and visceral heterotaxy. Orthologous to human ZIC3 (Zic family member 3). [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.
