Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables chromatin binding activity and cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in chromatin looping; negative regulation of gene expression; and positive regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cardiac muscle cell development; epigenetic regulation of gene expression; and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in male germ cell nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and limb. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 21; basal cell carcinoma; female breast cancer; skin melanoma; and skin squamous cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human CTCF (CCCTC-binding factor).
