Summary
Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and SMAD binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and response to insulin. Located in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human FOXA2 (forkhead box A2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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.
