- Description
- Enables chromatin binding activity and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Contributes to DNA-binding transcription factor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including fin regeneration; nervous system development; and otic placode development. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Predicted to be part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including digestive system; immature eye; nervous system; neural keel; and presumptive structure. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer; nasal cavity cancer; and syndromic microphthalmia 3. Orthologous to human SOX2 (SRY-box transcription factor 2).
