Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity. Involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; positive regulation of nematode male tail tip morphogenesis; and tissue development. Located in nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including excretory cell; gonad; head neurons; oocyte; and somatic nervous system. Used to study cancer. Is an ortholog of human NFYA (nuclear transcription factor Y subunit alpha).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
