    Summary
    Predicted to enable GABA receptor binding activity; RNA polymerase III cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and RNA polymerase III core binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase III. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in adrenal gland; liver; retina; and thymus. Orthologous to human MAF1 (MAF1 homolog, negative regulator of RNA polymerase III). [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.
