    Summary
    Enables DNA binding activity and DNA-binding transcription factor activity. Involved in several processes, including analia development; genitalia development; and negative regulation of receptor signaling pathway via JAK-STAT. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including ectoderm anlage; epithelium; gut section; imaginal disc; and trunk ectoderm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
