Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionsem-4 encodes a zinc-finger protein; sem-4 activity is required for proper development of cells in neuronal, mesodermal, and vulval cell lineages; sem-4 activity is also required for transdifferentiation of the Y rectal cell to the PDA neuron during larval development; a SEM-4::GFP reporter fusions are widely expressed with fluorescence seen in a number of different cell types including neurons, hypodermis, vulval precursor cells, and tail blast cells such as B and F.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00002518

Automated_descriptionEnables RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cell differentiation; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and response to oxidative stress. Located in nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including HSN; M lineage cell; rectal epithelial cell; rectum; and tail hypodermis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Duane retraction syndrome; Duane-radial ray syndrome; and Holt-Oram syndrome. Is an ortholog of human SALL1 (spalt like transcription factor 1) and SALL3 (spalt like transcription factor 3).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
