Description

Predicted to have DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including embryonic viscerocranium morphogenesis; sensory organ development; and trigeminal nerve development. Predicted to localize to nuclear chromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including apical ectodermal ridge pectoral fin bud; ectoderm; nervous system; pharyngeal arch; and splanchnocranium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in orofacial cleft 15. Orthologous to human DLX4 (distal-less homeobox 4).
