Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables DNA-binding transcription activator 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 cell surface receptor signaling pathway; epithelial cell differentiation; and hair follicle cell proliferation. Acts upstream of or within blood vessel development; odontogenesis of dentin-containing tooth; and placenta development. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; branchial arch; genitourinary system; jaw; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amelogenesis imperfecta type 4 and trichodontoosseous syndrome. Orthologous to human DLX3 (distal-less homeobox 3).
