Summary: Predicted to enable transcription coactivator activity. Involved in several processes, including locomotor rhythm; transcription initiation-coupled chromatin remodeling; and wing disc dorsal/ventral pattern formation. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including adult brain; adult head; antennal anlage; cuboidal/columnar epithelium; and ganglia. Orthologous to human SERTAD2 (SERTA domain containing 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
