Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of gastrulation; primitive streak formation; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chordate embryonic development; lung development; and regulation of neuron differentiation. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; endoderm; genitourinary system; gut; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human FOXA2 (forkhead box A2).
