Is affected by ivermectin based on RNA-seq studies. Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: High mobility group box domain; High mobility group box domain superfamily; HMG-box domain; and HMG (high mobility group) box. Is an ortholog of C. elegans
hmg-1.2. In C. elegans,
hmg-1.2 is involved in several processes, including gonad development; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and vulval development.
