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 negative regulation of cell migration involved in sprouting angiogenesis; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and somite development. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including angiogenesis; skeletal muscle tissue development; and somite specification. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human MEOX2 (mesenchyme homeobox 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
