Function
Transcription factor, which in cooperation with EMX2, acts to generate the boundary between the roof and archipallium in the developing brain. May function in combinations with OTX1/2 to specify cell fates in the developing central nervous system.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the EMX homeobox family.
Tissue Specificity
Cerebral cortex.
Cellular localization
- Nucleus
- Cytoplasm
- Might be shuttling between the nucleus and the cytoplasm.
