Summary
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within anterior/posterior pattern specification; negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and skeletal system morphogenesis. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; limb; limb bud; and nervous system. Orthologous to human HOXD8 (homeobox D8).

Expression
Biased expression in genital fat pad adult (RPKM 25.2), ovary adult (RPKM 21.0) and 10 other tissues See more

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 (2) uses an alternate in-frame splice site in the 3' terminal exon, compared to variant 1, resulting in an isoform (b) that is 1 aa shorter than isoform a.

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (3) contains an alternate 5' terminal exon, and it thus differs in the 5' UTR, lacks a portion of the 5' coding region, and initiates translation at a downstream in-frame start codon, compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (c) is shorter at the N-terminus, compared to isoform a.
