    Summary
    Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of morphogenesis of an epithelium; regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and striated muscle cell differentiation. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic organ morphogenesis; myoblast migration; and thymus development. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of transcription regulator complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human SIX4 (SIX homeobox 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.
