Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity; sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Is an ortholog of C. elegans
end-1 and
egl-18 and members of the C. elegans elt gene class including
elt-4. In C. elegans,
egl-18 is involved in cell fate specification; membrane fusion; and nematode larval development.
