Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within anterior/posterior pattern specification and embryonic skeletal system morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in aggresome and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of transcription repressor complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo mesenchyme; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; gut; and nervous system. Orthologous to human HOXC9 (homeobox C9).
