Description

Predicted to have DNA binding activity. Involved in embryonic viscerocranium morphogenesis. Predicted to localize to nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ceft palate, cardiac defects, and intellectual disabillity. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior neural keel; hindbrain neural keel; nervous system; neural plate; and neural rod. Orthologous to human MEIS2 (Meis homeobox 2).
