- 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 photoreceptor cell fate specification; retinal cone cell development; and retinal rod cell development. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in eye; lens; retina; retinal outer nuclear layer; and solid lens vesicle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in retinitis pigmentosa and retinitis pigmentosa 27. Orthologous to human NRL (neural retina leucine zipper).
