Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in embryonic limb morphogenesis. Acts upstream of or within dorsal/ventral pattern formation and proximal/distal pattern formation. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; branchial arch; embryo ectoderm; limb bud; and nose. Orthologous to human SP8 (Sp8 transcription factor).
