Summary: Enables RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity and RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; lysosome organization; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including Caaaaa; Caaaap; hermaphrodite distal tip cell; hypodermis; and rectum. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

ELT-3 interacts with SKN-1 to activate gst-4 transcription in vitro. elt-3 is required for enhanced gst-4 expression in the brap-2(ok1492) mutant in vivo.
