Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and protein domain specific binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including central nervous system development; embryonic skeletal system morphogenesis; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human HOXB1 (homeobox B1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
