Description
Predicted to have DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ development; iridophore differentiation; and nervous system development. Localizes to nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in branchiooculofacial syndrome. Is expressed in several structures, including ectoderm; nervous system; neural crest; neural tube; and pronephros. Orthologous to human TFAP2A (transcription factor AP-2 alpha).
