    Summary
    Enables DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity and transcription coactivator activity. Contributes to DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific. Involved in several processes, including border follicle cell migration; cellular response to hypoxia; and mesodermal cell migration. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including border follicle cell; egg chamber; larval muscle cell; and ovary. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute megakaryocytic leukemia; congenital megabladder; dilated cardiomyopathy; and immunodeficiency 66. Orthologous to human MYOCD (myocardin); MRTFA (myocardin related transcription factor A); and MRTFB (myocardin related transcription factor B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
