Summary: Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ development; embryonic development via the syncytial blastoderm; and neuron projection guidance. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; ectoderm; embryonic/larval circulatory system; extended germ band embryo; and foregut. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 1 diabetes mellitus and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to several human genes including ISL1 (ISL LIM homeobox 1).
