Description
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cell fate commitment; endocrine pancreas development; and spinal cord motor neuron differentiation. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including DEL; endoderm; nervous system; neural tube; and pancreatic system. Orthologous to human NKX6-1 (NK6 homeobox 1).
