    Summary
    Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in neuron differentiation. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including head neurons; intestine; pharynx; rectal epithelial cell; and rectal gland cell. Orthologous to human SOX14 (SRY-box transcription factor 14) and SOX21 (SRY-box transcription factor 21). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
