Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in RNA polymerase II preinitiation complex assembly; mRNA transcription by RNA polymerase II; and positive regulation of transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in cranial ganglion; limb mesenchyme; sensory organ; submandibular gland primordium; and tail dorsal root ganglion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive intellectual developmental disorder 60. Orthologous to human TAF13 (TATA-box binding protein associated factor 13).
