Summary: Enables sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adult walking behavior; regulation of odontogenesis of dentin-containing tooth; and ventral spinal cord interneuron specification. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; and nose. Orthologous to human DMRT3 (doublesex and mab-3 related transcription factor 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]

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.
