Predicted to enable protein-L-histidine N-pros-methyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in methylation. Is an ortholog of human METTL9 (methyltransferase 9, His-X-His N1(pi)-histidine).
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cell fate commitment; regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and vulval development. Located in nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including developing hermaphrodite gonad; egg-laying apparatus; intestinal cell; neurons; and uterine pi cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in high grade glioma. Is an ortholog of human SOX13 (SRY-box transcription factor 13); SOX5 (SRY-box transcription factor 5); and SOX6 (SRY-box transcription factor 6).
