Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: HMG (high mobility group) box; High mobility group box domain superfamily; TOX high mobility group box family member 4; and High mobility group box domain. Is an ortholog of C. elegans
athp-1 and
swsn-3 and members of the C. elegans hmg gene class including
hmg-4. In C. elegans,
hmg-3 is involved in pharynx development and regulation of embryonic development.
