NCBI Gene Info:Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Involved in several processes, including animal organ development; dendrite morphogenesis; and positive regulation of transcription elongation from RNA polymerase II promoter. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including cardial cell; circulatory system; dorsal closure embryo; presumptive embryonic/larval system; and trunk mesoderm. Orthologous to several human genes including HAND2 (heart and neural crest derivatives expressed 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022] |
