    Summary
    Enables sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in mesodermal cell fate specification; nematode larval development; and positive regulation of mesodermal cell fate specification. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in M.dlp; M.drp; body wall muscle cell from M lineage; and coelomocyte. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in persistent fetal circulation syndrome. Orthologous to several human genes including FOXF1 (forkhead box F1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
