Description
Exhibits chromatin binding activity and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Contributes to DNA-binding transcription factor activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ development; fin regeneration; and otic placode development. Predicted to localize to nuclear transcription factor complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer; nasal cavity cancer; and syndromic microphthalmia. Is expressed in several structures, including immature eye; nervous system; neural keel; neural rod; and presumptive structure. Orthologous to human SOX2 (SRY-box transcription factor 2).
