SEM-4

WormBase ID: WBGene00004773

WormBase description: Is an ortholog of human SALL1 (spalt like transcription factor 1) and SALL3 (spalt like transcription factor 3). Exhibits RNA polymerase II regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Is involved in several processes, including mesodermal cell differentiation; neuroblast differentiation; and transdifferentiation. Localizes to nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including HSN; M lineage cell; rectal epithelial cell; rectum; and tail hypodermis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene are implicated in several diseases, including Duane-radial ray syndrome; IVIC syndrome; and Townes-Brocks syndrome.
