NCBI Gene Info:Enables sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; positive regulation of RNA splicing; and response to starvation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including excretory cell; hermaphrodite gonad; intestine; nervous system; and pharyngeal-intestinal valve. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pulmonary tuberculosis. Orthologous to human JUN (Jun proto-oncogene, AP-1 transcription factor subunit); JUNB (JunB proto-oncogene, AP-1 transcription factor subunit); and JUND (JunD proto-oncogene, AP-1 transcription factor subunit).
