Enables metallopeptidase activity. Involved in basement membrane disassembly. Located in cell surface. Expressed in several structures, including P6.paal; P6.paar; P6.papl; gonad; and vulval cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in prostate cancer and transitional cell carcinoma. Is an ortholog of human MMP15 (matrix metallopeptidase 15) and MMP24 (matrix metallopeptidase 24).
Involved in regulation of egg-laying behavior and syncytium formation by plasma membrane fusion. Located in plasma membrane. Expressed in anchor cell; egg-laying apparatus; epithelial cell; neurons; and pharyngeal muscle cell.
Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; bHLH transcription factor binding activity; and protein dimerization activity. Contributes to RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including generation of neurons; regulation of metabolic process; and sex differentiation. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Expressed in several structures, including distal tip cell; enteric muscle; lateral ganglion; ray precursor cell; and terminal bulb. Used to study obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy; Pitt-Hopkins syndrome; and agammaglobulinemia (multiple). Is an ortholog of human TCF12 (transcription factor 12); TCF3 (transcription factor 3); and TCF4 (transcription factor 4).
Involved in positive regulation of Notch signaling pathway and protein localization to basolateral plasma membrane. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Expressed widely. Is an ortholog of human PTPN23 (protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 23).
