Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator 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 positive regulation of transcription, DNA-templated and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including hair follicle development; nail development; and tongue morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ectodermal dysplasia 9. Orthologous to human HOXC13 (homeobox C13). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
