    Summary
    Enables DNA binding activity; DNA-binding transcription factor activity; and chromatin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including anterior/posterior axis specification; defense response to fungus; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleus and polytene chromosome. Is expressed in several structures, including Malpighian tubule primordium; anlage in statu nascendi; embryonic/larval midgut primordium; gut section; and mesoderm. Orthologous to several human genes including PHF19 (PHD finger protein 19). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
