Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in myeloid cell differentiation and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within DNA-templated transcription and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute myeloid leukemia. Orthologous to human CEBPA (CCAAT enhancer binding protein alpha).
