Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of neuroblast proliferation; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and retinal bipolar neuron differentiation. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including bladder; central nervous system; eye; and lip.
