Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; histone deacetylase binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; positive regulation of signal transduction; and regulation of alpha-beta T cell activation. Acts upstream of or within regulation of alpha-beta T cell differentiation and regulation of gene expression. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; forebrain; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and skin. Orthologous to human ZBTB7B (zinc finger and BTB domain containing 7B).
