Description

Predicted to have DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in hematopoietic stem cell differentiation; regulation of vasculature development; and vasculature development. Predicted to localize to nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including carcinoma (multiple); demyelinating disease; hematologic cancer (multiple); prostate cancer (multiple); and urinary bladder cancer. Is expressed in several structures, including digestive system; immature eye; nervous system; neural tube; and pronephros. Orthologous to human MYC (MYC proto-oncogene, bHLH transcription factor).
