CC   -!- FUNCTION: Acts as a transcriptional activator. Plays a role in terminal
CC       differentiation of interneurons, such as amacrine and bipolar cells in
CC       the developing retina. Likely to play a regulatory role in the
CC       development of the ventral forebrain. May play a role in craniofacial
CC       patterning and morphogenesis. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P40764}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Interacts (via homeobox DNA-binding domain) with POU4F2; this
CC       interaction enhances retinal ganglion cell (RGC) differentiation.
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P40764}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus {ECO:0000305}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the distal-less homeobox family. {ECO:0000305}.
