Summary
Predicted to enable DNA binding activity; DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; and transcription coregulator binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of pri-miRNA transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in chromosome and nuclear lumen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant non-syndromic intellectual disability 21. Orthologous to human CTCF (CCCTC-binding factor).

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.
