Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including enteroendocrine cell differentiation; neurogenesis; and positive regulation of cell differentiation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; neural ectoderm; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human NKX2-2 (NK2 homeobox 2).

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.
