Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in embryonic hindlimb morphogenesis; negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including branchiomeric skeletal muscle development; hindlimb morphogenesis; and myoblast fate commitment. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; branchial arch; limb; and sensory organ. Used to study clubfoot. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in clubfoot. Orthologous to human PITX1 (paired like homeodomain 1).
