    Summary
    Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and protein heterodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including chemical postsynaptic transmission; learning or memory; and modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to corticosterone stimulus and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; future forebrain; and urinary system. Orthologous to human NPAS4 (neuronal PAS domain protein 4).

    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.
