description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within lung-associated mesenchyme development. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including blastocyst; early embryo; foregut; gonad; and nose. Orthologous to human DPPA4 (developmental pluripotency associated 4).
