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 forebrain neuron development; lymphangiogenesis; and neuromast development. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including digestive system; mesoderm; nervous system; pleuroperitoneal region; and trunk vasculature. Orthologous to human PROX1 (prospero homeobox 1).

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.
