UNC-3

WormBase ID: WBGene00006743

WormBase description: Is an ortholog of human EBF3 (EBF transcription factor 3). Exhibits RNA polymerase II regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; histone acetyltransferase binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Is involved in several processes, including dauer larval development; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and regulation of neuron projection development. Localizes to nucleus. Colocalizes with nuclear chromatin. Is expressed in ABalappaap; ABalappaapp; and neurons.
