Also known as: vega2; vent1; wu:fe36b11
Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within dorsal/ventral pattern formation; regulation of endodermal cell fate specification; and regulation of mesodermal cell fate specification. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in embryonic structure. Orthologous to human VENTX (VENT homeobox). [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.
