Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.5.0)
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription; positive regulation of gastrulation; and primitive streak formation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; nervous system development; and regionalization. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; early conceptus; ectoderm; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in panhypopituitarism and syndromic microphthalmia 5. Orthologous to human OTX2 (orthodenticle homeobox 2).
