Protein attributes

Sequence length	284 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level

General annotation (Comments)

Function	May be involved in regulating the specificity of expression of the catecholamine biosynthetic genes. Acts as a transcription activator/factor. Could maintain the noradrenergic phenotype.
Subcellular location	Nucleus By similarity.
Involvement in disease	Congenital fibrosis of extraocular muscles 2 (CFEOM2) [MIM:602078]: A congenital ocular motility disorder marked by restrictive ophthalmoplegia affecting extraocular muscles innervated by the oculomotor and/or trochlear nerves. It is clinically characterized by anchoring of the eyes in downward gaze, ptosis, and backward tilt of the head. Congenital fibrosis of extraocular muscles type 2 may result from the defective development of the oculomotor (nIII), trochlear (nIV) and abducens (nVI) cranial nerve nuclei. Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.5
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the paired homeobox family. Contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain.
