Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Acts upstream of or within embryonic hemopoiesis. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; germ ring; intermediate cell mass of mesoderm; mesoderm; and renal system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hematologic cancer (multiple) and thrombocytopenia. Orthologous to human ETV6 (ETS variant transcription factor 6).
