Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within anterior/posterior pattern specification and embryonic skeletal system morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in nuclear speck. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; limb; and vertebral cartilage condensation. Orthologous to human HOXA6 (homeobox A6).
