- 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. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including chondrocyte differentiation; ossification; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including cranium; fin; midbrain hindbrain boundary; osteoblast; and osteoprogenitor cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cleidocranial dysplasia; lung non-small cell carcinoma; metaphyseal dysplasia-maxillary hypoplasia-brachydactyly syndrome; and osteonecrosis. Orthologous to human RUNX2 (RUNX family transcription factor 2).
