Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; retinoic acid-responsive element binding activity; and transition metal ion binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in chromosome. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant non-syndromic intellectual disability 39. Orthologous to human MYT1L (myelin transcription factor 1 like).
