    Summary
    Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Acts upstream of or within hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation and spongiotrophoblast layer development. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including extraembryonic component; nervous system; and placenta. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autoimmune thyroiditis. Orthologous to human ZFAT (zinc finger and AT-hook domain containing). [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.

      Status: VALIDATED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (3) lacks two alternate internal exons, compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most expected translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
