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 several processes, including cardiac muscle tissue regeneration; heart morphogenesis; and swim bladder formation. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including endocrine system; gut; liver and biliary system; mesoderm; and pericardial region. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital heart disease (multiple). Orthologous to human GATA4 (GATA binding protein 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

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.
