Summary: Enables RNA binding activity and enzyme binding activity. Involved in several processes, including regulation of cell fate specification; regulation of development, heterochronic; and regulation of gene expression. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including body wall musculature; nervous system; pharynx; reproductive system; and somatic gonad precursor. Orthologous to human LIN28A (lin-28 homolog A) and LIN28B (lin-28 homolog B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

robust progression from L2 to L3 cell fates depends on the combination of two distinct modes of HBL-1 downregulation: decreased synthesis of HBL-1 via let-7-family microRNA activity, and decreased nuclear accumulation of HBL-1 via action of the lin-28-lin-46 pathway
