Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and protein heterodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in developmental process and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; foregut; genitourinary system; limb; and limb bud. Orthologous to human BHLHA9 (basic helix-loop-helix family member a9).

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.
