Summary
Enables bHLH transcription factor binding activity and double-stranded DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in chromatin and nucleus. Predicted to be part of beta-catenin-TCF7L2 complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy and Pitt-Hopkins syndrome. Orthologous to human TCF4 (transcription 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.
