    Summary
    Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cell fate specification; midbrain development; and midbrain-hindbrain boundary development. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; mandibular muscle; midbrain hindbrain boundary neural plate; midbrain hindbrain boundary neural rod; and neural keel. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder. Orthologous to human EN2 (engrailed homeobox 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    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.
