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. Involved in positive regulation of connective tissue replacement. Acts upstream of or within cytokine-mediated signaling pathway. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and peripheral nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in prostate cancer. Orthologous to human KLF6 (Kruppel like factor 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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.
