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