Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including generation of neurons; regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and vulval development. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including developing hermaphrodite gonad; egg-laying apparatus; intestinal cell; neurons; and uterine pi cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in high grade glioma. Orthologous to human SOX13 (SRY-box transcription factor 13); SOX5 (SRY-box transcription factor 5); and SOX6 (SRY-box transcription factor 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]
