Summary
Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity and double-stranded DNA binding activity. Involved in regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Acts upstream of or within embryonic hindlimb morphogenesis. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; limb bud; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human AFF3 (AF4/FMR2 family member 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
Expression
Broad expression in thymus adult (RPKM 9.9), spleen adult (RPKM 7.6) and 19 other tissues See more

GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

What's a GeneRIF?
  1. AFF3 is associated with the Kruppel-like zinc finger protein ZFP281 in embryonic stem (ES) cells. ZFP281 recruits AFF3 to the Meg3 enhancer within the imprinted Dlk1-Dio3 locus, thus regulating the allele-specific expression of the Meg3 polycistron.
    Title: A permissive chromatin state regulated by ZFP281-AFF3 in controlling the imprinted Meg3 polycistron.
  2. The neuronal migration deficit caused by loss of Laf4 can be partially rescued by Mdga2 over-expression, revealing an important functional relationship between these genes in a mouse model of intellectual disability.
    Title: Laf4/Aff3, a gene involved in intellectual disability, is required for cellular migration in the mouse cerebral cortex.
  3. Alternatively spliced forms encode several forms of putative protein with potentially different transactivation functions.

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.
