Summary: Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; nucleic acid binding activity; and transcription regulator inhibitor activity. Involved in dendritic transport of messenger ribonucleoprotein complex; negative regulation of DNA-binding transcription factor activity; and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including epithelial cell proliferation; lymphocyte proliferation; and negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in cytoplasm; dendrite; and neuronal cell body. Is active in glutamatergic synapse; nucleus; and postsynapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; eye; genitourinary system; heart; and nervous system.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
