| 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 several processes, including chordate embryonic development; convergent extension; and negative regulation of fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling pathway. Is expressed in several structures, including head; nervous system; neural plate; neuroectoderm; and tail bud. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Hirschsprung's disease and Mowat-Wilson syndrome. Orthologous to human ZEB2 (zinc finger E-box binding homeobox 2).
