Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell differentiation and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; jaw; limb ectoderm; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in orofacial cleft 15. Orthologous to human DLX4 (distal-less homeobox 4).
