Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; beta-catenin binding activity; and enzyme binding activity. Involved in several processes, including mesodermal cell fate commitment; regulation of cell division; and regulation of gene expression. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including ABplpapaaa; ABprpapaaa; P7.pa; somatic nervous system; and vulva. Used to study obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including diabetes mellitus (multiple); endocrine gland cancer (multiple); and prostate disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human TCF7L2 (transcription factor 7 like 2).
Enables RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; scaffold protein binding activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in several processes, including cell fate commitment involved in formation of primary germ layer; gonad development; and regulation of gene expression. Located in several cellular components, including cell cortex; kinetochore; and pericentriolar material. Expressed in several structures, including ABplpapaap; ABprpapaap; Z1.aa; posterior distal tip cell; and tail hypodermis.
