Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including learning or memory; nervous system development; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including exit from mitosis; myeloid leukocyte differentiation; and nervous system development. Is active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study Scheuermann's disease and Sotos syndrome 2. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Marshall-Smith syndrome and Sotos syndrome 2. Orthologous to human NFIX (nuclear factor I X).
