Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity and chromatin binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of dendrite morphogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including inner ear auditory receptor cell differentiation; lung development; and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytoplasm; neuron projection; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human CUX1 (cut like homeobox 1).
