Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of adaptive immune response based on somatic recombination of immune receptors built from immunoglobulin superfamily domains; negative regulation of lymphocyte activation; and regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; establishment of apical/basal cell polarity; and left/right pattern formation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; nose; and respiratory system. Used to study Kartagener syndrome and primary ciliary dyskinesia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary ciliary dyskinesia 43. Orthologous to human FOXJ1 (forkhead box J1).

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.
