Summary: Enables armadillo repeat domain binding activity; beta-catenin binding activity; and transcription corepressor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell migration involved in gastrulation; convergent extension; and transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of transcription elongation factor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including blastoderm; blastodisc; nervous system; pleuroperitoneal region; and presumptive neural retina. Orthologous to human EAF2 (ELL associated factor 2).

Eaf1 and Eaf2 mediate zebrafish dorsal-ventral axis patterning via suppressing Wnt/beta-Catenin activity.
Title: Eaf1 and Eaf2 mediate zebrafish dorsal-ventral axis patterning via suppressing Wnt/β-Catenin activity.
study unveiled a previously unrecognized link of Eaf1/2 genes with TGF-beta and P53 in vertebrates and demonstrated a conservation of TGF-beta suppression activity for Eaf1/2 family genes from fish to mammals, which might shed some light on the molecular mechanistic basis of Eaf1 and Eaf2 in tumor suppression.
Title: Transcriptional factors Eaf1/2 inhibit endoderm and mesoderm formation via suppressing TGF-β signaling.
A novel role for Eaf1 and Eaf2 in inhibiting canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, which might form the mechanistic basis for Eaf1 and Eaf2 tumor suppressor activity.
Title: Eaf1 and Eaf2 negatively regulate canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling.
Findings provide the first convincing line of evidence that EAF and Wnt4 form an auto-regulatory negative feedback loop in vivo.
Title: Negative feedback regulation of Wnt4 signaling by EAF1 and EAF2/U19.
eaf1 and eaf2/u19 act upstream of noncanonical Wnt signaling to mediate convergence and extension movements
Title: Zebrafish eaf1 and eaf2/u19 mediate effective convergence and extension movements through the maintenance of wnt11 and wnt5 expression.

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.
