Description
Predicted to have DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in multicellular organism development and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to localize to nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in craniosynostosis and parietal foramina. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; eye; optic vesicle; pharyngeal arch; and swim bladder bud. Orthologous to human ALX4 (ALX homeobox 4).
