Description
Exhibits DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including anterior/posterior pattern specification; nervous system development; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Localizes to nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in bilateral optic nerve hypoplasia; eye disease (multiple); glucose intolerance; and paranoid schizophrenia. Is expressed in several structures, including immature eye; nervous system; neural keel; neural plate; and neural rod. Orthologous to human PAX6 (paired box 6).
