Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; E-box binding activity; and protein heterodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including nervous system development; regulation of synapse maturation; and regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Predicted to act upstream of or within associative learning; behavioral fear response; and neuron development. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 72. Orthologous to human NEUROD2 (neuronal differentiation 2).
