Protein attributes

Sequence length	354 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Evidence at transcript level

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Probable transcription factor.
Subcellular location	Nucleus By similarity.
Tissue specificity	In the embryo it is detected in the posterior hypotalamus and later in the head. In the adult it is detected only in testis.
