Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and intronic transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including hypothalamus development; positive regulation of circadian rhythm; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including lung development; nervous system development; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; neural ectoderm; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in choreatic disease and papillary thyroid carcinoma. Orthologous to human NKX2-1 (NK2 homeobox 1).
