Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and methyl-CpG binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including anterior/posterior axis specification; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and regulation of somitogenesis. Predicted to act upstream of or within anterior/posterior pattern specification and bone morphogenesis. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human CDX1 (caudal type homeobox 1).
