Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in ameloblast differentiation; amelogenesis; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in chromatin. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; oral region epithelium; and tooth. Orthologous to human ASCL5 (achaete-scute family bHLH transcription factor 5). [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.
