NCBI Gene Info: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 several processes, including circulatory system development; response to retinoic acid; and somitogenesis. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in paraxial mesoderm; presumptive paraxial mesoderm; segmental plate; somite; and somite 11. Orthologous to human MESP1 (mesoderm posterior bHLH transcription factor 1).
