Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; chromatin binding activity; and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in T cell differentiation in thymus; positive regulation of artery morphogenesis; and positive regulation of biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including calcineurin-NFAT signaling cascade; cardiac muscle hypertrophy in response to stress; and circulatory system development. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and lung. Orthologous to human NFATC3 (nuclear factor of activated T cells 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Oct 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.
