Summary
Enables WW domain binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Contributes to cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including labyrinthine layer blood vessel development; negative regulation of bone mineralization; and positive regulation of peptidyl-lysine acetylation. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex and protein-DNA complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

NF-E2 silencing in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) did not affect their myeloid and B cell differentiation in vivo, it almost abrogated T cell production in primary hosts, as confirmed by in vitro studies. This effect is at least partly due to Notch1 downregulation in NF-E2-silenced HSPCs.

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.
