See related: EnsemblRapid:ENSRNOG00000008824 AllianceGenome:RGD:621132
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: PROVISIONAL
Organism: Rattus norvegicus

Summary: Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Predicted to be involved in brain development; neuron differentiation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of neuroblast proliferation; neurogenesis; and skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in syndromic microphthalmia 11. Orthologous to human VAX1 (ventral anterior homeobox 1).

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.
