Description

Predicted to have DNA binding activity and DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Involved in animal organ development; epidermal cell fate specification; and metal ion homeostasis. Predicted to localize to nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial isolated hypoparathyroidism and hyperparathyroidism. Is expressed in several structures, including ectoderm; head; macrophage; pharynx; and yolk. Orthologous to human GCM2 (glial cells missing transcription factor 2).
