Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; liver; and spleen. Orthologous to several human genes including ZSCAN5A (zinc finger and SCAN domain containing 5A) and ZSCAN5B (zinc finger and SCAN domain containing 5B).
