Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Contributes to transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; genitourinary system; limb; molar; and nervous system. Orthologous to human NFYC (nuclear transcription factor Y subunit gamma).
