Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within labyrinthine layer blood vessel development; labyrinthine layer morphogenesis; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; hindlimb phalanx; and viscerocranium. Orthologous to human ESX1 (ESX homeobox 1).
