Function
Controls somatic sexual differentiation. Binds directlyand specifically to the FBE (fat body enhancer) of the yolkprotein 1 and 2 genes (Yp1 and Yp2). This enhancer is sufficientto direct the female-specific transcription characteristic of theYp genes in adult fat bodies. Involved in regulation of male-specific expression of takeout in brain-associated fat body.
