Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including eye development; positive regulation of gene expression; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including 1st branchial arch maxillary component; early conceptus; eye; intestine; and oocyte. Used to study enhanced S-cone syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in enhanced S-cone syndrome and retinitis pigmentosa 37. Orthologous to human NR2E3 (nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group E member 3).
