About Olig2

Summary

Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; HMG box domain binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in oligodendrocyte differentiation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Biomarker of status epilepticus. Orthologous to human OLIG2 (oligodendrocyte transcription factor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
