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 several processes, including embryonic morphogenesis; positive regulation of epithelial cell proliferation; and roof of mouth development. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; branchial arch; limb; and sensory organ. Used to study split hand-foot malformation 1. Orthologous to human DLX6 (distal-less homeobox 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
Expression
Biased expression in frontal lobe adult (RPKM 6.8), whole brain E14.5 (RPKM 5.5) and 8 other tissues See more

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.
