Enables sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in dosage compensation by hypoactivation of X chromosome. Located in X chromosome and nuclear chromosome. Part of dosage compensation complex. Is an ortholog of human SMC4 (structural maintenance of chromosomes 4).
Enables troponin C binding activity. Involved in locomotion and sarcomere organization. Located in sarcomere. Expressed in body wall musculature; non-striated muscle; and rectal muscle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including arthrogryposis multiplex congenita; distal arthrogryposis type 2B1; and intrinsic cardiomyopathy (multiple). Is an ortholog of human TNNI1 (troponin I1, slow skeletal type); TNNI2 (troponin I2, fast skeletal type); and TNNI3 (troponin I3, cardiac type).
Predicted to enable oxygen binding activity and oxygen carrier activity. Predicted to be involved in oxygen transport and response to hypoxia. Expressed in head neurons; lateral nerve cord; tail neurons; ventral cord neurons; and ventral nerve cord.
