NCBI Gene Info:Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; E-box binding activity; and bHLH transcription factor binding activity. Contributes to DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; regulation of stem cell differentiation; and stem cell population maintenance. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; epithelial cell differentiation; and post-anal tail morphogenesis. Located in nucleus. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including early embryo; foregut-midgut junction; genitourinary system; paraxial mesenchyme; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human TCF15 (transcription factor 15). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022] |
