RT   "Positive selection in transcription factor genes on the human lineage.";
RL   Submitted (AUG-2006) to the EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ databases.
CC   -!- FUNCTION: May be involved in modulating the expression of photoreceptor
CC       specific genes. Binds to the Ret-1 and Bat-1 element within the
CC       rhodopsin promoter (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Interacts with CRX. {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00108}.
CC   -!- DOMAIN: The Homeobox transactivates the Ret-1 element in the presence
CC       of CRX and NRL. {ECO:0000250}.
