    Summary
    Enables mRNA CDS binding activity and ribosome binding activity. Acts upstream of or within in utero embryonic development and neuron migration. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in central nervous system; early conceptus; future brain; oocyte; and retina nuclear layer. Orthologous to human UNK (unk zinc finger).

    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.

      Status: VALIDATED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (2) uses an alternate in-frame splice site in the coding region, compared to variant 1. This results in a shorter protein (isoform 2), compared to isoform 1.
