Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; and cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of ectoderm development; nephron epithelium morphogenesis; and nervous system development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including kidney development; limb morphogenesis; and nervous system development. Located in heterochromatin and nucleus. Part of NuRD complex. Is expressed in several structures, including autopod; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; metanephros; and sensory organ. Used to study Townes-Brocks syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Townes-Brocks syndrome; middle lobe syndrome; and renal Wilms' tumor. Orthologous to human SALL1 (spalt like transcription factor 1).
