Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including anterior/posterior pattern specification; negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and skeletal system morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in microtubule cytoskeleton and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human HOXC8 (homeobox C8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
