Description
Exhibits DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Involved in animal organ development; anterior/posterior pattern specification; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to localize to nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in bilateral optic nerve hypoplasia; eye disease (multiple); glucose intolerance; and paranoid schizophrenia. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior neural keel; endocrine system; immature eye; nervous system; and neural plate. Orthologous to human PAX6 (paired box 6).
