Acts upstream of or within extrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in absence of ligand; mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization; and striated muscle tissue development. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; embryo mesenchyme; nervous system; non-neural ectoderm; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human EYA2 (EYA transcriptional coactivator and phosphatase 2).
