Enriched in AVG; CAN; RIM; and command interneuron based on RNA-seq and single-cell RNA-seq studies. Is affected by etr-1 and ogt-1 based on RNA-seq studies.
Enriched in CAN; ILshVR; and hermaphrodite gonad based on single-cell RNA-seq studies. Is affected by several genes including atfs-1; ptrn-1; and etr-1 based on RNA-seq studies.
Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including egg-laying behavior; generation of neurons; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Expressed in ABalapppaa; CAN; head neurons; seam cell; and somatic nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in eye disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human VSX2 (visual system homeobox 2).
