Gene Summary

Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; protein homodimerization activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in axon midline choice point recognition; imaginal disc-derived genitalia development; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including adult doublesex neurons; adult muscle cell; imaginal disc; organism subdivision; and sense organ. Orthologous to human DMRTB1 (DMRT like family B with proline rich C-terminal 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
