Description
Exhibits sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to contribute to DNA-binding transcription factor activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ development; epithelial cell differentiation; and regulation of gene expression. Predicted to localize to RNA polymerase II transcription factor complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital central hypoventilation syndrome. Is expressed in several structures, including digestive system; nervous system; neural tube; neuronal stem cell; and optic cup. Orthologous to human ASCL1 (achaete-scute family bHLH transcription factor 1).
