Description
Predicted to have DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Involved in maintenance of animal organ identity. Predicted to localize to nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in blepharophimosis, ptosis, and epicanthus inversus syndrome and premature ovarian failure. Is expressed in female organism; gonad; ovarian follicle; ovary; and testis. Orthologous to human FOXL2 (forkhead box L2).
