Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and osteoblast differentiation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic limb morphogenesis; heart development; and skeletal system development. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; embryo ectoderm; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study craniosynostosis and parietal foramina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in craniosynostosis and parietal foramina. Orthologous to human MSX2 (msh homeobox 2).
