    Summary
    Enables chromatin binding activity. Contributes to chromatin insulator sequence binding activity and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in heterochromatin boundary formation and negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleus and polytene chromosome band. Part of chromatin silencing complex. Is expressed in several structures, including anlage in statu nascendi; antennal anlage; antennal primordium; central brain anlage; and head epidermis primordium.
