Description
Exhibits chromatin binding activity. Involved in cartilage morphogenesis; embryonic morphogenesis; and glial cell differentiation. Localizes to cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in 46,XX sex reversal 2; 46,XY sex reversal 10; and campomelic dysplasia. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; ectoderm; head; reproductive system; and skeletal system. Orthologous to human SOX9 (SRY-box transcription factor 9).
