Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell differentiation; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and regulation of transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Expressed in head muscle; intestine; neurons; non-striated muscle; and ventral nerve cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in choreatic disease and thyroid gland papillary carcinoma. Is an ortholog of human NKX2-1 (NK2 homeobox 1) and NKX2-4 (NK2 homeobox 4).
Enables sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including gonad morphogenesis; pharyngeal muscle development; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including G1; gonad; neurons; pharyngeal cell; and ventral nerve cord. Used to study cancer. Is an ortholog of human NKX2-2 (NK2 homeobox 2).
Predicted to enable hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA lyase activity. Predicted to be involved in ketone body biosynthetic process and leucine catabolic 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).
