Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; neuromuscular process controlling balance; and sensory perception of sound. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 15 and autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 52. Orthologous to human POU4F3 (POU class 4 homeobox 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
