Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of cell death. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to retinoic acid; mesenchyme development; and tube morphogenesis. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and limb bud. Orthologous to human TEAD2 (TEA domain transcription factor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
