- Description
- Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including fin regeneration; kidney development; and macrophage chemotaxis. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nuclear speck. Is expressed in several structures, including eye; heart; intermediate mesoderm; pleuroperitoneal region; and podocyte. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Denys-Drash syndrome; Frasier syndrome; malignant mesothelioma; nephroblastoma (multiple); and nephrotic syndrome type 4. Orthologous to human WT1 (WT1 transcription factor).
