    Summary
    Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; chromatin binding activity; and cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including erythrocyte maturation; optic nerve formation; and regulation of hematopoietic stem cell migration. Is active in chromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; digestive system; intermediate cell mass of mesoderm; nervous system; and pleuroperitoneal region. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in prostate cancer and stomach cancer. Orthologous to human KLF6 (KLF transcription factor 6). [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.
