Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Par bZIP transcription factor family and binds to specific sequences in the promoters of several genes, such as albumin, Cyp2a4, and Cyp2a5. The encoded protein can bind DNA as a homo- or heterodimer and is involved in the regulation of some circadian rhythym genes. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]

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.
