    Summary
    Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including muscle cell fate specification; neuroblast development; and regionalization. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior-posterior subdivision of organism; embryonic segment posterior compartment; imaginal disc; neuroblast NB5-6; and neuromere. Orthologous to several human genes including HOXA7 (homeobox A7). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
