Sall4 - spalt-like transcription factor 4 Gene

Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including chordate embryonic development; embryonic limb morphogenesis; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in heterochromatin and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Duane retraction syndrome; Duane-radial ray syndrome; Holt-Oram syndrome; IVIC syndrome; and ventricular septal defect. Orthologous to human SALL4 (spalt like transcription factor 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
