UniProtKB description:  Homeodomain protein that controls neuronal identity (PubMed:1842358). As a transcriptional factor, regulates the expression of ftz, eve and en in a subset of neuroblast progeny and modulates the transcriptional activity of other homeodomain proteins such as Dfd (PubMed:12429095, PubMed:15837198, PubMed:9380747). Required for proper neuronal differentiation, axonal outgrowth and pathfinding of most or all neurons and their precursors in central and peripheral nervous systems (PubMed:20152183, PubMed:27510969, PubMed:1720353, PubMed:1842358, PubMed:1540176, PubMed:11051550, PubMed:18342578, PubMed:23056424, PubMed:16564014). Regulates asymmetric stem cell self-renewal together with brat (PubMed:16564014).
