| Function |
Probable transcription factor required for the expression of a subset of genes involved in interneurons migration and development. Functions in the specification of cortical interneuron subtypes and in the migration of GABAergic interneuron precursors from the subpallium to the cerebral cortex. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10393337, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15201337, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17376969, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18339674, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18613121}.

| Subcellular Location |
Nucleus {ECO:0000305}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Brain specific. Expressed by neurons in the amygdala that are activated by reproductive olfactory stimuli and project in regions of the hypothalamus involved in reproduction (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10393337, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15944132}.
