Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and miRNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ development; nervous system development; and positive regulation of cell communication. Acts upstream of or within endocrine pancreas development; hematopoietic stem cell homeostasis; and somatic stem cell population maintenance. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; hindlimb long bone; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Coffin-Siris syndrome and urinary bladder cancer. Orthologous to human SOX4 (SRY-box transcription factor 4).

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.
