Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including male anatomical structure morphogenesis; mechanosensory behavior; and negative regulation of synapse pruning. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including AVG; body wall musculature; head neurons; intestine; and vulval muscle. Is an ortholog of human DMRT1 (doublesex and
mab-3 related transcription factor 1) and DMRTC2 (DMRT like family C2).
