Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; artery disease (multiple); lung disease (multiple); and neuropathy (multiple). Is an ortholog of human EGR1 (early growth response 1) and EGR3 (early growth response 3).
