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 central nervous system development; neuron differentiation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic organ development; motile cilium assembly; and regulation of cilium assembly. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human NOTO (notochord homeobox). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
