Summary: Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity; DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; and promoter-specific chromatin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of cell migration involved in sprouting angiogenesis; positive regulation of vascular wound healing; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell surface receptor signaling pathway; circulatory system development; and kidney development. Predicted to be located in nuclear body. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; limb long bone; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including lymphedema; lymphedema-distichiasis syndrome; obesity; ptosis; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human FOXC2 (forkhead box C2). [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.
