Summary: Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and aryl hydrocarbon receptor binding activity. Predicted to contribute to RNA polymerase II general transcription initiation factor activity and core promoter sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in transcription initiation from RNA polymerase II promoter. Predicted to act upstream of or within ovarian follicle development and transcription, DNA-templated. Located in nucleus. Orthologous to human TAF4 (TATA-box binding protein associated factor 4). [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.
