Summary: Predicted to enable double-stranded telomeric DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including body wall musculature; enteric muscle; mechanosensory neurons; somatic nervous system; and vulval muscle. Orthologous to human HMBOX1 (homeobox containing 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
