NCBI Gene Info:Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of peptide hormone secretion. Located in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including dorsal sensory complex proper primordium; extended germ band embryo; foregut primordium; presumptive embryonic/larval system; and visceral muscle primordium. Used to study neurodegenerative disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autism spectrum disorder; beta thalassemia; immunodeficiency 49; schizophrenia; and sickle cell anemia. Orthologous to several human genes including BCL11A (BAF chromatin remodeling complex subunit BCL11A) and BCL11B (BAF chromatin remodeling complex subunit BCL11B).
