Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and metal ion binding activity. Involved in epigenetic regulation of gene expression. Part of chromatin. Expressed in several structures, including AB lineage cell; ABplappppa; hermaphrodite distal tip cell; neurons; and vulva. Is an ortholog of human BAZ2A (bromodomain adjacent to zinc finger domain 2A) and BAZ2B (bromodomain adjacent to zinc finger domain 2B).
Predicted to enable growth factor receptor binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of netrin-activated signaling pathway and nematode male tail tip morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in extracellular space. Expressed in body wall musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; central nervous system cancer (multiple); diabetic retinopathy (multiple); and reproductive organ cancer (multiple). Is an ortholog of human PDGFA (platelet derived growth factor subunit A) and PDGFB (platelet derived growth factor subunit B).
