Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in cerebral cortex ventricular layer and cortical plate. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in exudative vitreoretinopathy 6 and retinitis pigmentosa 72. Orthologous to human ZNF408 (zinc finger protein 408).
