Summary: Enables chromatin DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including alpha-beta T cell lineage commitment; positive regulation of DNA demethylation; and regulation of positive thymic T cell selection. Acts upstream of or within hematopoietic or lymphoid organ development and positive regulation of natural killer cell differentiation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; sensory organ; and skeleton. Orthologous to human TOX (thymocyte selection associated high mobility group box). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
Expression: Broad expression in thymus adult (RPKM 22.1), whole brain E14.5 (RPKM 7.5) and 16 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.
