Description
Predicted to have DNA-binding transcription factor activity and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in brain development; cellular response to alcohol; and retinal pigment epithelium development. Predicted to localize to nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in panhypopituitarism and syndromic microphthalmia. Is expressed in several structures, including immature eye; nervous system; neural plate; neural rod; and presumptive structure. Orthologous to human OTX2 (orthodenticle homeobox 2).
