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 circulatory system development; regulation of skeletal muscle tissue development; and somitogenesis. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in notochord outer sheath cell; paraxial mesoderm; post-vent region; and segmental plate. Orthologous to human MESP1 (mesoderm posterior bHLH transcription factor 1).
