Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway by p53 class mediator; lens fiber cell apoptotic process; and regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cartilage condensation; central nervous system; early conceptus; and genitourinary system. Orthologous to human E2F2 (E2F transcription factor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
