Gene Summary

Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Involved in several processes, including dendrite morphogenesis; heart development; and positive regulation of transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including circulatory system primordium; dorsal vessel; dorsal vessel wall cell; nephrocyte; and somatic precursor cell. Orthologous to several human genes including HAND2 (heart and neural crest derivatives expressed 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
