Enables sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in camera-type eye development; negative regulation of lens fiber cell differentiation; and positive regulation of lens epithelial cell proliferation. Acts upstream of or within camera-type eye development; cell development; and positive regulation of epithelial cell proliferation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo ectoderm; eye; and heart. Used to study congenital aphakia.
