Primary source: RGD:1305959
See related: Ensembl:ENSRNOG00000014925 AllianceGenome:RGD:1305959
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: PROVISIONAL
Organism: Rattus norvegicus

Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including mesoderm formation; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and somite rostral/caudal axis specification. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including mesodermal cell migration; regulation of gene expression; and somitogenesis. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spondylocostal dysostosis. Orthologous to human MESP2 (mesoderm posterior bHLH transcription factor 2).

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.
