Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; musculoskeletal system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypotonia, ataxia, and delayed development syndrome. Orthologous to human EBF3 (EBF transcription factor 3).
