Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in cell fate specification and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Expressed in muscle cell; neurons; somatic nervous system; and tail hypodermis. Is an ortholog of human EVX1 (even-skipped homeobox 1) and EVX2 (even-skipped homeobox 2).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
