Description

Exhibits nuclear receptor activity and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Contributes to DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including fin development; ovarian follicle development; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Localizes to cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including blood vessel; fin; mandibular arch skeleton; nervous system; and pleuroperitoneal region.
