Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including egg-laying behavior; generation of neurons; and positive regulation of growth rate. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including ABplapppaap; ABplapppapa; ABprapppaap; ABprapppapa; and neurons. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
