Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within embryo development; generation of neurons; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in axon and neuronal cell body. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; egg cylinder; genitourinary system; and limb bud. Orthologous to human EVX1 (even-skipped homeobox 1).
