Description
Exhibits sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in camera-type eye morphogenesis; negative regulation of intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway by p53 class mediator; and nervous system development. Predicted to localize to nucleus. Is expressed in diencephalon; forebrain neural rod; head; and immature eye. Orthologous to human VAX2 (ventral anterior homeobox 2).
