Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; HMG box domain binding activity; and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic limb morphogenesis; embryonic skeletal system morphogenesis; and roof of mouth development. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Used to study parietal foramina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in craniosynostosis; frontonasal dysplasia 2; gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); lung cancer (multiple); and parietal foramina. Orthologous to human ALX4 (ALX homeobox 4).
