Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to contribute to RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cell chemotaxis; embryonic skeletal system morphogenesis; and regionalization. Predicted to act upstream of or within embryonic skeletal system development; mammary gland development; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human HOXB9 (homeobox B9).
