Caenorhabditis elegans Enables identical protein binding activity and telomeric DNA binding activity. Involved in mitochondrial DNA metabolic process. Located in chromosome, telomeric region and mitochondrial nucleoid. Expressed in dorsal nerve cord; head muscle; head neurons; oocyte; and ventral nerve cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 15; and obesity. Is an ortholog of human TFAM (transcription factor A, mitochondrial).
