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 several processes, including nodal signaling pathway; positive regulation of neuron differentiation; and regulation of gastrulation. Predicted to be located in centrosome and nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; forelimb phalanx; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to several human genes including TGIF2-RAB5IF (TGIF2-RAB5IF readthrough). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
