Summary: Enables RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including chaeta morphogenesis; neuron projection guidance; and regulation of eclosion. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including adult uniglomerular antennal lobe projection neurons; embryonic/larval fat body; embryonic/larval salivary gland; ganglia; and imaginal disc. Orthologous to several human genes including LDB2 (LIM domain binding 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
