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 glial cell development. Located in nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including labial sensillum and neuronal sheath cell. Is an ortholog of human PROX1 (prospero homeobox 1).
Predicted to enable hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA lyase activity. Predicted to be involved in L-leucine catabolic process and ketone body biosynthetic process. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amino acid metabolic disorder. Is an ortholog of human HMGCL (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase) and HMGCLL1 (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase like 1).
