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. Involved in imaginal disc-derived wing vein specification and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including amnioserosa anlage; dorsal ectoderm; ectoderm anlage; extended germ band embryo; and mesoderm anlage. Orthologous to human ATOH8 (atonal bHLH transcription factor 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022] |
