Summary: Predicted to enable transcription elongation factor activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of cell growth; negative regulation of epithelial cell proliferation involved in prostate gland development; and positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; sensory organ; and tooth. Orthologous to human EAF2 (ELL associated factor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
