Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in anatomical structure morphogenesis; cell differentiation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior neural rod; forebrain; paraxial mesoderm; pharyngeal arch; and sclerotome. Orthologous to human FOXD2 (forkhead box D2).
