NCBI Gene Info:Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and sleep. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in head neurons and pharyngeal neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Char syndrome; branchiooculofacial syndrome; and patent ductus arteriosus. Orthologous to several human genes including TFAP2A (transcription factor AP-2 alpha); TFAP2D (transcription factor AP-2 delta); and TFAP2E (transcription factor AP-2 epsilon).
