Summary: Enables sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; fin development; and fin regeneration. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of beta-catenin-TCF complex. Is expressed in several structures, including midbrain hindbrain boundary neural rod; nervous system; neural crest; pleuroperitoneal region; and trunk. Used to study anxiety disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ovarian cancer. Orthologous to human LEF1 (lymphoid enhancer binding factor 1). [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.
