Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and sequence-specific double-stranded DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and spinal cord motor neuron cell fate specification. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including diaphragm development; endocrine pancreas development; and nervous system development. Located in chromatin and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; lung epithelium; and notochord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Currarino syndrome. Orthologous to human MNX1 (motor neuron and pancreas homeobox 1).
