- Description
- Predicted to have DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in locus ceruleus development and noradrenergic neuron development. Predicted to localize to nuclear chromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including epibranchial field; hindbrain neural rod; midbrain hindbrain boundary neural keel; nervous system; and neural tube. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles. Orthologous to human PHOX2A (paired like homeobox 2A).
