gene: hmg-1.2 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in several processes, including Wnt signaling pathway; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and vulval development. Located in nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Kawasaki disease; alcohol dependence; and alcohol use disorder. Is an ortholog of human HMGB3 (high mobility group box 3).
