Predicted to be involved in embryonic pattern specification and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including Notch signaling pathway; post-anal tail morphogenesis; and somite rostral/caudal axis specification. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spondylocostal dysostosis. Orthologous to human RIPPLY2 (ripply transcriptional repressor 2).
