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 detection of temperature stimulus; nervous system development; and sensory perception of mechanical stimulus. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Orthologous to human DRGX (dorsal root ganglia homeobox). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
