    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. Involved in cell fate specification and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including Caap; Capp; neurons; somatic nervous system; and tail hypodermis. Orthologous to human EVX1 (even-skipped homeobox 1) and EVX2 (even-skipped homeobox 2).
