| Gene Summary |
Enables RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; protein domain specific binding activity; and transcription coregulator binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cell fate specification; imaginal disc-derived appendage development; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleus and polytene chromosome band. Part of protein-DNA complex and transcription repressor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior-posterior subdivision of organism; developmental compartment; imaginal disc; neuromere; and somatic trunk mesoderm derivative.
