Enables several functions, including POZ domain binding activity; chromatin binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including germ cell migration; male meiotic nuclear division; and meiotic chromosome condensation. Located in chromatin; nucleus; and polytene chromosome band. Colocalizes with condensed nuclear chromosome and nucleolus. Is expressed in several structures, including adult central complex; brain; embryonic/larval midgut primordium; head epidermis primordium; and somatic trunk mesoderm derivative.
