Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity and nuclear receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in intestinal bulb; nervous system; and presumptive diencephalon. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in immunodeficiency 42. Orthologous to human RORC (RAR related orphan receptor C).
