Description
Enables chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cartilage morphogenesis; embryonic morphogenesis; and glial cell differentiation. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; ectoderm; head; reproductive system; and skeletal system. Used to study campomelic dysplasia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in 46,XX sex reversal 2; 46,XY sex reversal 10; campomelic dysplasia; lung cancer; and lung carcinoma. Orthologous to human SOX9 (SRY-box transcription factor 9).
