Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within anterior/posterior pattern specification; embryonic skeletal system morphogenesis; and stem cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in cell junction. Predicted to be active in nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo ectoderm; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; gut; and nervous system. Orthologous to human HOXD4 (homeobox D4). [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.
