Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including Sertoli cell development; diencephalon development; and face development. Acts upstream of or within animal organ morphogenesis; forebrain development; and spermatid differentiation. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; branchial arch; early conceptus; embryo ectoderm; and gonad. Used to study hydrocephalus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in X-linked panhypopituitarism. Orthologous to human SOX3 (SRY-box transcription factor 3).
