Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including T-helper 17 cell lineage commitment; positive regulation of cytokine production; and regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including histone acetylation; myeloid dendritic cell differentiation; and negative regulation of toll-like receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of nucleosome. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Biomarker of middle cerebral artery infarction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute lymphoblastic leukemia; anaplastic large cell lymphoma; chronic lymphocytic leukemia; multiple myeloma; and peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Orthologous to human IRF4 (interferon regulatory factor 4). [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.
