Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell surface receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of endothelial cell differentiation; and positive regulation of mesoderm development. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in limb ischemia. Orthologous to human ETV2 (ETS variant transcription factor 2).
