Description

Is predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in digestive system development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including diencephalon development; exocrine pancreas development; and intestinal epithelial structure maintenance. Located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of beta-catenin-TCF complex and catenin-TCF7L2 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior neural plate; brain; digestive system; gonad; and sensory system. Used to study type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer; diabetes mellitus (multiple); pancreatic cancer; and prostate cancer. Orthologous to human TCF7L2 (transcription factor 7 like 2).
