Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including Notch signaling pathway; embryonic skeletal system morphogenesis; and positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including glossopharyngeal nerve morphogenesis; positive regulation of neuron differentiation; and thyroid gland development. Predicted to be located in aggresome and nuclear body. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human HOXD3 (homeobox D3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
