Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and estrogen receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to glucocorticoid stimulus; negative regulation of intracellular estrogen receptor signaling pathway; and positive regulation of insulin secretion. Located in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 1 diabetes mellitus and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human ISL1 (ISL LIM homeobox 1).

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.
