Summary: Enables RNA polymerase II complex binding activity; chromatin binding activity; and mRNA binding activity. Involved in dosage compensation; regulation of transcription, DNA-templated; and transcription elongation from RNA polymerase II promoter. Located in polytene chromosome interband and polytene chromosome puff. Part of DSIF complex. Is expressed in adult head and organism. Orthologous to human SUPT5H (SPT5 homolog, DSIF elongation factor subunit). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
