During embryogenesis, plays with unique and cooperative roles with GRHL3 in establishing distinct zones of primary neurulation. Essential for closing 3 (rostral end of the forebrain), functions cooperatively with GRHL3 in closed 2 (forebrain/midbrain boundary) and posterior neuropore closure (By similarity).
