Description

Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within brain development and vestibular receptor cell stereocilium organization. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including midbrain neural tube; nervous system; periderm; pharyngeal arch; and presumptive diencephalon. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer and stomach cancer. Orthologous to human EMX2 (empty spiracles homeobox 2).
