Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including lens fiber cell differentiation; regulation of chondrocyte differentiation; and regulation of gene expression. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and zeugopod. Used to study cataract 21 multiple types and multiple myeloma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Ayme-Gripp syndrome; cataract; and cataract 21 multiple types.
