Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity. Involved in several processes, including male courtship behavior; mating behavior, sex discrimination; and neuron development. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including epithelium; neuroblast lineage clone; neurons; organism subdivision; and synaptic neuropil subdomain.
