Description

Exhibits DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Involved in regulation of inner ear receptor cell differentiation; regulation of skeletal muscle cell proliferation; and skeletal muscle fiber development. Predicted to localize to nucleus and transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in musculature system; nervous system; otic vesicle; and somite. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 23; branchiootorenal syndrome; and nephroblastoma. Orthologous to human SIX1 (SIX homeobox 1).
