Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including circulatory system development; regulation of transcription, DNA-templated; and stem cell fate specification. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; immune system; reproductive system; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypotrichosis-lymphedema-telangiectasia syndrome and hypotrichosis-lymphedema-telangiectasia-renal defect syndrome. Orthologous to human SOX18 (SRY-box transcription factor 18). [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.
