Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: Kelch-type beta propeller; Galactose oxidase, central domain; Kelch motif; Fibronectin type III superfamily; Immunoglobulin-like fold; Host cell factor 1; Fibronectin type III; and Kelch repeat type 1. Is an ortholog of C. elegans hcf-1. In C. elegans, hcf-1 is involved in several processes, including dauer exit; determination of adult lifespan; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription.
