Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: SAND-like domain superfamily and Glucocorticoid modulatory element-binding protein 1/2. Is an ortholog of C. elegans
spe-44 and members of the C. elegans gmeb gene class including
gmeb-3. In C. elegans,
spe-44 is involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and spermatogenesis.
