Description

Predicted to have sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in cell fate specification; midbrain development; and midbrain-hindbrain boundary development. Predicted to localize to RSC-type complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; mandibular muscle; midbrain hindbrain boundary neural plate; midbrain hindbrain boundary neural rod; and neural keel. Orthologous to human EN2 (engrailed homeobox 2).
