Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
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 several processes, including embryonic organ development; hippo signaling; and transition between fast and slow fiber. Located in nucleus. Part of TEAD-YAP complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and tooth. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Sveinsson chorioretinal atrophy. Orthologous to human TEAD1 (TEA domain transcription factor 1).
