Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ development; positive regulation of morphogenesis of an epithelium; and regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic organ morphogenesis; myoblast migration; and thymus development. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including exocrine gland; nervous system; sensory organ; tongue; and urinary system. Orthologous to human SIX4 (SIX homeobox 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.
