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 brain development; neuron differentiation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including coelomocyte; head muscle; somatic nervous system; tail; and terminal bulb. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in syndromic microphthalmia 11. Orthologous to human VAX1 (ventral anterior homeobox 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
