Enables C-rich single-stranded DNA binding activity; DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; and double-stranded DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PCBP3 (poly(rC) binding protein 3).
