Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and E-box binding activity. Predicted to be involved in neuron differentiation; positive regulation of DNA-binding transcription factor activity; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; positive regulation of neuron differentiation; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human NEUROG2 (neurogenin 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
