Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; eye; genitourinary system; heart; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in MHC class II deficiency and severe combined immunodeficiency. Orthologous to human RFX5 (regulatory factor X5).
