Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity; sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Is an ortholog of C. elegans
nhr-80. In C. elegans,
nhr-80 is involved in several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; positive regulation of fatty acid metabolic process; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II.
