Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of epithelial cell proliferation; positive regulation of otic vesicle morphogenesis; and positive regulation of protein kinase B signaling. Located in cell cortex and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pre-eclampsia. Orthologous to human STOX1 (storkhead box 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
