- Description
- Predicted to have DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in embryonic morphogenesis. Predicted to localize to nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in craniosynostosis and parietal foramina. Is expressed in several structures, including epidermis; median fin fold; pectoral fin; pectoral fin bud; and vent. Orthologous to human MSX2 (msh homeobox 2).
