Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in anterior/posterior pattern specification and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within embryonic skeletal system development. Predicted to be located in cell junction and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human HOXC5 (homeobox C5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
