Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including gonad morphogenesis; head morphogenesis; and pharynx development. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including body wall musculature; gonadal sheath cell; intestine; neurons; and somatic nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in atrial fibrillation; congenital heart disease (multiple); diabetes mellitus (multiple); dilated cardiomyopathy; and myocardial infarction. Orthologous to human ISL1 (ISL LIM homeobox 1) and ISL2 (ISL LIM homeobox 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
