May act upstream of PAX9. Plays a role in controlling the evolution of connections of hypothalamic neurons to pituitary elements, enabling central neurons to reach the peripheral blood circulation and to deliver hormones for management of peripheral functions.

Expressed in the paraxial mesoderm, in the developing kidney and central nervous system. In the somite, it is restricted to the caudal half of the newly formed somite and sclerotome. In the central nervous system, it is detected in the developing spinal cord, hindbrain, mesencephalon and telencephalon. Expressed in adult and embryonic magnocellular neurons of the hypothalamo-neurohypophysial system.
