Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including determination of muscle attachment site; larval somatic muscle development; and regionalization. Is expressed in several structures, including embryonic/larval circulatory system; embryonic/larval somatic muscle cell; extended germ band embryo; nervous system; and segment. Orthologous to several human genes including EBF3 (EBF transcription factor 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
