Summary: Enables bHLH transcription factor binding activity. Contributes to E-box binding activity. Involved in cell adhesion mediated by integrin; imaginal disc-derived wing vein specification; and mesoderm development. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior wing margin; embryonic dorsal apodeme; embryonic ventral apodeme; larval muscle cell; and trunk visceral muscle primordium.
