This gene is a member of the forkhead/winged-helix (FOX) family of
transcription factors with highly conserved FOX DNA-binding domains. Members
of the FOX family of transcription factors are regulators of embryogenesis
and may play a role in human cancer. This gene lies in a region of chromosome
2 that surrounds the site where two ancestral chromosomes fused to form human
chromosome 2. This region is duplicated elsewhere in the human genome,
primarily in subtelomeric and pericentromeric locations, thus mutiple copies
of this gene have been found. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Vaquerizas 2009 TF classification
"a" Has direct evidence of TF function;
"b" Has evidence for an orthologous TF;
"c" contains likely DBDs, but has no functional evidence;
"x" is an unlikely TF such as predicted gene, genes with likely non-specific DBDs or that have function outside transcription;
"other" category contains proteins without clear DBDs they curated from external sources.
b
CisBP considers it as a TF?
Yes
TFclass considers it as a TF?
Yes
Has GO:0003700 "transcription factor activity, sequence-specific DNA binding"
Yes

GO:0000981 sequence-specific DNA binding RNA polymerase II transcription factor activity IBA - GO_REF:0000033
Initial Assessment 1a1 Protein has a high confidence PWM (HT-SELEX, PBM or B1H model) or there is a crystal structure that supports sequence specific DNA binding;
1a2 There is high confidence data for a close ortholog (as defined in CisBP);
2a1 There is lower confidence direct evidence, such as a Jaspar, Hocomoco or Transfac model;
2a2 There is lower confidence evidence for an close ortholog;
3a There is decent circumstantial evidence for its role as a TF or not;
4a Two or more datasets predict it as a TF;
5a One of the source datasets predicts is as a TF
