Summary
Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity. Involved in instar larval development; positive regulation of ecdysteroid biosynthetic process; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in head mesoderm; organism; prothoracic gland; and ring gland. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
