Enables DNA binding activity and DNA-binding transcription factor activity. Involved in embryonic camera-type eye morphogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic digestive tract development; establishment of planar polarity of embryonic epithelium; and negative regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; ear; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and limb digit. Orthologous to human FOXF2 (forkhead box F2).
