Enables protein heterodimerization activity. Contributes to sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in determination of adult lifespan and regulation of cell differentiation. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Expressed in body wall musculature; neurons; pharynx; and somatic nervous system. Used to study Parkinson's disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in neurofibrosarcoma and prostate cancer. Is an ortholog of human MXI1 (MAX interactor 1, dimerization protein).
Predicted to enable protein dimerization activity. Is an ortholog of C. elegans mdl-1. In C. elegans, mdl-1 is involved in determination of adult lifespan and regulation of cell differentiation.

This gene encodes a member of the C-type lectin/C-type lectin-like domain (CTL/CTLD) superfamily. Members of this family share a common protein fold and have diverse functions, such as cell adhesion, cell-cell signalling, glycoprotein turnover, and roles in inflammation and immune response. The encoded type II transmembrane protein interacts with dnax-activation protein 12 and may play a role in cell activation. Alternative splice variants have been described but their full-length sequence has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
