Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in embryonic skeletal system morphogenesis; negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and regionalization. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic skeletal system development; limb morphogenesis; and peripheral nervous system neuron development. Predicted to be located in nucleolus and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human HOXD9 (homeobox D9). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
