Summary: Enables DNA binding activity; DNA-binding transcription factor activity; and identical protein binding activity. Contributes to DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Involved in glucose metabolic process and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; chromatin; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of transcription regulator complex.

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.
