Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell differentiation; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and regulation of transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including head; nerve ring neurons; non-striated muscle; tail neurons; and ventral nerve cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in choreatic disease and papillary thyroid carcinoma. Orthologous to human NKX2-1 (NK2 homeobox 1) and NKX2-4 (NK2 homeobox 4).
