Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and chromatin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cellular response to growth factor stimulus; regulation of neuron differentiation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including forebrain development; negative regulation of Notch signaling pathway; and negative regulation of oligodendrocyte differentiation. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Orthologous to human DLX1 (distal-less homeobox 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
