Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; E-box binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including neural retina development; regulation of neural retina development; and retinoic acid receptor signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including neuron fate commitment; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and retina morphogenesis in camera-type eye. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; epidermis; eye; foregut-midgut junction; and genitourinary system. Used to study pancreatic carcinoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pancreatic agenesis 1. Orthologous to human PTF1A (pancreas associated transcription factor 1a).
