Enables RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; regulation of egg-laying behavior; and regulation of nematode pharyngeal pumping. Acts upstream of or within determination of adult lifespan. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including body wall musculature; egg-laying apparatus; intestine; neurons; and pharynx. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Marshall-Smith syndrome; NFIA-related disorder; and Sotos syndrome 2. Is an ortholog of human NFIA (nuclear factor I A).
Predicted to be located in extracellular space. Is an ortholog of human CLEC18A (C-type lectin domain family 18 member A); CLEC18B (C-type lectin domain family 18 member B); and CLEC18C (C-type lectin domain family 18 member C).
