Transcription factor which binds the E box motif 5'-CA[TC][AG]TG-3' (By similarity). Involved in modulating physiological aging, probably by regulating expression of branched-chain amino acid transferase-1, bcat-1 (PubMed:26620638, PubMed:32203922). Expressed in sensory head neurons of the lateral ganglion. RNAi-mediated knockdown extends mean lifespan and reduces expression of bcat-1 by >50%.
