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 embryonic skeletal joint development and regulation of chondrocyte differentiation. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; head; hindbrain neural plate; mesoderm; and midbrain neural keel. Orthologous to human IRX5 (iroquois homeobox 5).
