Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity; damaged DNA binding activity; and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in double-strand break repair and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on negative regulation of gene expression via chromosomal CpG island methylation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including centrosome cycle; mitotic G2/M transition checkpoint; and random inactivation of X chromosome. Located in chromosome; cytoplasm; and male germ cell nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and integumental system. Used to study breast cancer; hereditary breast ovarian cancer syndrome; and ovarian cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Fanconi anemia complementation group S; breast cancer (multiple); cervix uteri carcinoma in situ; gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); and reproductive organ cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human BRCA1 (BRCA1 DNA repair associated).
