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 brain development and cell fate specification. Predicted to localize to nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; mesenchyme; mesoderm; neural tube; and somite. Orthologous to human HOXB5 (homeobox B5).
