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 anterior/posterior pattern specification and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within embryonic skeletal system morphogenesis; endothelial cell differentiation; and regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Predicted to be located in cytosol; fibrillar center; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human HOXB5 (homeobox B5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
