- Description
- Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell differentiation; embryonic skeletal system development; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in dental papilla; gill; and head. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in orofacial cleft 15. Orthologous to human DLX4 (distal-less homeobox 4).
