CC   -!- FUNCTION: May have a regulatory function in the initial formation of
CC       the epidermis.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00108}.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in the embryonic ectoderm and is
CC       specifically repressed in the CNS. High level of expression in adult
CC       skin.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the distal-less homeobox family. {ECO:0000305}.
