Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including muscle cell differentiation; negative regulation of axonogenesis; and skeletal muscle tissue regeneration. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including extraembryonic component; liver and biliary system; nasal cavity epithelium; nervous system; and tooth. Orthologous to human IFRD1 (interferon related developmental regulator 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
