Description
Predicted to have DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in skeletal muscle tissue development. Predicted to localize to nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital structural myopathy. Is expressed in several structures, including Rohon-Beard neurons; adaxial cell; fin; muscle precursor cell; and musculature system. Orthologous to human MYF6 (myogenic factor 6).
