Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including central nervous system development; embryonic skeletal system morphogenesis; and regionalization. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human HOXB2 (homeobox B2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
