Caenorhabditis elegans Enables cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity and transcription coactivator binding activity. Contributes to RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cell differentiation; positive regulation of mesodermal cell fate specification; and regulation of asymmetric cell division. Located in nucleus. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Expressed in several structures, including P1.p; P2.p; neurons; seam cell; and somatic nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital anomalies of kidney and urinary tract syndrome with or without hearing loss, abnormal ears, or developmental delay; esophagus squamous cell carcinoma; and glaucoma. Is an ortholog of human PBX4 (PBX homeobox 4).
