Foxd1 - forkhead box D1

Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including kidney development; luteinizing hormone secretion; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within axon guidance; branching involved in ureteric bud morphogenesis; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; integumental system; metanephros; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human FOXD1 (forkhead box D1).
