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 anterior/posterior pattern specification; embryonic skeletal system morphogenesis; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within stem cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in cell junction and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human HOXD4 (homeobox D4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
