Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Involved in oculomotor nerve formation and trochlear nerve formation. Acts upstream of or within nervous system development; regulation of respiratory gaseous exchange; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; epibranchial placode; genitourinary system; and nervous system. Used to study type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles 2. Orthologous to human PHOX2A (paired like homeobox 2A).
