Protein attributes

Sequence length	723 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Probable transcriptional regulator involved in the regulation of the proneural AS-C genes and the neurogenic genes of the enhancer of split complex. Could specifically activate proneural genes in the ventral-most neuroectoderm. Ref.1
Subcellular location	Nucleus Probable.
Tissue specificity	Expressed in the CNS and midgut. Ref.1
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the NK-2 homeobox family. Contains 1 homeobox DNA-binding domain.
