- Description
- Enables chromatin binding activity and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Contributes to DNA-binding transcription factor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including fin regeneration; nervous system development; and otic placode development. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of transcription regulator complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including digestive system; immature eye; nervous system; neural keel; and presumptive structure. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer; nasal cavity cancer; oral cavity cancer; and syndromic microphthalmia 3. Orthologous to human SOX2 (SRY-box transcription factor 2).
