Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including liver development; lung development; and positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including axon terminus; mitochondrial membrane; and neuronal cell body. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ELK1 (ETS transcription factor ELK1).
