- Description
- Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within anterior/posterior pattern specification involved in pronephros development; otic placode formation; and peripheral nervous system development. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including endocrine system; mesoderm; nervous system; neurogenic field; and pronephros. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital hypothyroidism and congenital nongoitrous hypothyroidism 2. Orthologous to human PAX8 (paired box 8).
