Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; protein heterodimerization activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo mesenchyme; eye; liver; long bone; and tooth. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in achromatopsia 7. Orthologous to human ATF6 (activating transcription factor 6). [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.
