Enables sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and spermatogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including hematopoietic stem cell homeostasis; intracellular glucose homeostasis; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut; limb mesenchyme; and skeleton. Orthologous to human FOXA3 (forkhead box A3).
