Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including midbrain dopaminergic neuron differentiation; olfactory behavior; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of neuron differentiation; nervous system development; and regulation of cell growth. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; ear; embryo ectoderm; notochord; and somite. Used to study Parkinson's disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 7. Orthologous to human LMX1A (LIM homeobox transcription factor 1 alpha).
