Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including circulatory system development; hair follicle development; and stem cell fate specification. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; central nervous system; integumental system; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypotrichosis-lymphedema-telangiectasia syndrome and hypotrichosis-lymphedema-telangiectasia-renal defect syndrome. Orthologous to human SOX18 (SRY-box transcription factor 18).
