Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cartilage development and embryonic viscerocranium morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in brain; head; and ventricular zone.

What's a GeneRIF?

Data show that dlx1a/2a and dlx5a/6a expressing progenitors give rise, for the most part, to small populations of cells which constitute only a small proportion of GABAergic cells in the adult brain tissue.
Title: Lineage tracing of dlx1a/2a and dlx5a/6a expressing cells in the developing zebrafish brain.
dlx1a/2a act downstream of ascl1a but upstream of dlx5a/dlx6a and gad1b to activate GABAergic specification
Title: The ascl1a and dlx genes have a regulatory role in the development of GABAergic interneurons in the zebrafish diencephalon.
embryos injected with dlx1a and dlx2a but not dlx1a MOs exhibit reduced and dysmorphic arch cartilage elements.
Title: Zebrafish dlx2a contributes to hindbrain neural crest survival, is necessary for differentiation of sensory ganglia and functions with dlx1a in maturation of the arch cartilage elements.

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.
