    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 regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in body wall musculature; enteric muscle; nerve ring; neurons; and vulval muscle. Used to study obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Marsili syndrome; familial atrial fibrillation; hepatocellular carcinoma; lung non-small cell carcinoma (multiple); and spinocerebellar ataxia type 4. Orthologous to several human genes including ZFHX3 (zinc finger homeobox 3) and ZFHX4 (zinc finger homeobox 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
