Summary
Enables chromatin binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including brown fat cell differentiation; defense response to bacterium; and response to cold. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including extraembryonic component; gut; liver lobe; oculomotor nerve; and prostate gland lobe. Orthologous to human PLAC8 (placenta associated 8).

Expression
Biased expression in duodenum adult (RPKM 141.6), large intestine adult (RPKM 140.7) and 10 other tissues See more

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.
