Caenorhabditis elegans Enables RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cell differentiation; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and response to oxidative stress. Located in nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including HSN; M lineage cell; rectal epithelial cell; rectum; and tail hypodermis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Duane retraction syndrome; Duane-radial ray syndrome; and Holt-Oram syndrome. Is an ortholog of human SALL1 (spalt like transcription factor 1) and SALL3 (spalt like transcription factor 3).
