Summary: Enables protein heterodimerization activity. Contributes to DNA-binding transcription factor activity. Involved in head development and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior endoderm; central brain primordium; embryonic/larval midgut primordium; ganglia; and mesoderm. Orthologous to several human genes including MAFK (MAF bZIP transcription factor K). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
