Caenorhabditis elegans Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; beta-catenin binding activity; and enzyme binding activity. Involved in several processes, including mesodermal cell fate commitment; regulation of cell division; and regulation of gene expression. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including ABplpapaaa; ABprpapaaa; oocyte; somatic nervous system; and vulva. Used to study obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including diabetes mellitus (multiple); endocrine gland cancer (multiple); and prostate disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human TCF7L2 (transcription factor 7 like 2).
