    Summary
    Enables histone binding activity. Involved in male germ-line cyst formation; male germ-line sex determination; and positive regulation of gene expression. Located in male germ cell nucleus and polytene chromosome. Is expressed in several structures, including cuboidal/columnar epithelium; gonad; male germline cell; and male germline cyst. Orthologous to human PHF7 (PHD finger protein 7). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
