Also known as: Pur-1
Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including regulation of gene expression; regulation of signal transduction; and transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Orthologous to human MAZ (MYC associated zinc finger protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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.
