Summary: Enables DNA binding activity; DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; and chromatin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of epithelial to mesenchymal transition; regulation of SMAD protein signal transduction; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including circulatory system development; embryonic morphogenesis; and regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; genitourinary system; gut; head surface ectoderm; and otocyst.

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.
