Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell fate specification and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be part of chromatin. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including 1st branchial arch mesenchyme; alimentary system; face; nose; and vibrissa follicle. Used to study X-linked cleft palate with or without ankyloglossia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Abruzzo-Erickson syndrome; X-linked cleft palate with or without ankyloglossia; and cleft palate. Orthologous to human TBX22 (T-box transcription factor 22).
