Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including lung epithelial cell differentiation; negative regulation of cell population proliferation; and nervous system development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including exit from mitosis; nervous system development; and salivary gland development. Located in cerebellar mossy fiber and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; limb; nervous system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human NFIB (nuclear factor I B).
