- Description
- Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Acts upstream of or within embryonic viscerocranium morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior neural keel; hindbrain neural keel; nervous system; neural plate; and neural rod. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cleft palate; cleft palate, cardiac defects, and intellectual disability; learning disability; open-angle glaucoma; and orofacial cleft. Orthologous to human MEIS2 (Meis homeobox 2).
