Summary
This gene encodes a member of the runt domain-containing family of transcription factors. This protein is essential for osteoblastic differentiation and skeletal morphogenesis and acts as a scaffold for nucleic acids and regulatory factors involved in skeletal gene expression. The protein can bind DNA both as a monomer or, with more affinity, as a subunit of a heterodimeric complex. Transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms result from the use of alternate promoters as well as alternate splicing. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]

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.

mRNA and Protein(s)

  1. NM_001145920.3NP_001139392.1  runt-related transcription factor 2 isoform 2

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (2) represents use of a proximal promoter. It lacks two alternate exons including the 5' UTR and a portion of the 5' coding region, and initiates translation in an alternate 5' segment, compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (2, also known as MRIPV) has a distinct N-terminus and is shorter than isoform 1.
