Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in anatomical structure development and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in vulD. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 7 and renal coloboma syndrome. Orthologous to human PAX2 (paired box 2).
