Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity; and transcription coactivator binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of cell population proliferation; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and regulation of cell cycle. Predicted to act upstream of or within ectoderm development; gastrulation with mouth forming second; and positive regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of protein-DNA complex. Predicted to be active in nucleoplasm. Orthologous to human ZBTB17 (zinc finger and BTB domain containing 17).
