Summary: Enables sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within actin filament organization and gastrulation. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in blastodisc; internal yolk syncytial layer; margin; marginal blastomere; and yolk syncytial layer. Orthologous to several human genes including DUX4L5 (double homeobox 4 like 5 (pseudogene)); DUX4L6 (double homeobox 4 like 6 (pseudogene)); and DUX4L7 (double homeobox 4 like 7 (pseudogene)).

What's a GeneRIF?

This study identified a Nanog-like-Mxtx2-Nodal pathway and establishes a role for Nanog-like in regulating the formation of the extraembryonic tissue required for endoderm induction.
Title: Nanog-like regulates endoderm formation through the Mxtx2-Nodal pathway.
show that Mxtx2 directly activates expression of ndr2 via binding to its first intron and is required for ndr2 expression in the yolk syncytial layer
Title: Embryonic mesoderm and endoderm induction requires the actions of non-embryonic Nodal-related ligands and Mxtx2.

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.
