Summary: Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; protein heterodimerization activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in several processes, including nervous system development; oenocyte development; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex and protein-DNA complex. Is expressed in several structures, including anlage in statu nascendi; germ layer; head epidermis primordium; neuroblast NB5-6; and segmental subdivision of organ system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital anomalies of kidney and urinary tract syndrome with or without hearing loss, abnormal ears, or developmental delay. Orthologous to several human genes including PBX1 (PBX homeobox 1) and PBX3 (PBX homeobox 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

Hox protein Ultrabithorax (Ubx) in complex with its cofactor Extradenticle (Exd) bound specifically to clusters of very low affinity sites in enhancers of the shavenbaby gene of Drosophila. These low affinity sites conferred specificity for Ubx binding in vivo, but multiple clustered sites were required for robust expression when embryos developed in variable environments.
