Summary: Enables E-box binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of DNA-binding transcription factor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including generation of neurons; positive regulation of neuron differentiation; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo ectoderm; eye; and integumental system. Orthologous to human NEUROG2 (neurogenin 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Oct 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.
