Description
Predicted to have DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in forebrain neuron development and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to localize to nucleus. Is expressed in brain; dental mesenchyme; and pharynx. Orthologous to human LHX8 (LIM homeobox 8).
