Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including inner ear morphogenesis; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and positive regulation of mRNA splicing, via spliceosome. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; gut; nervous system; sensory organ; and thymus. Orthologous to human HMX2 (H6 family homeobox 2).
