Enables sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in dauer larval development and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Expressed in coelomocyte; head; somatic nervous system; and tail ganglion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; autoimmune disease (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); and hematologic cancer (multiple). Is an ortholog of human STAT5A (signal transducer and activator of transcription 5A) and STAT5B (signal transducer and activator of transcription 5B).
Predicted to enable UDP-glycosyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in protein O-linked glycosylation. Predicted to be located in membrane. Is an ortholog of human B3GALT1 (beta-1,3-galactosyltransferase 1).
