Also known as

Summary
Enables bHLH transcription factor binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription, DNA-templated and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nuclear body. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and retina. Used to study encephalomyelitis. Orthologous to human IKZF4 (IKAROS family zinc finger 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.
