Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables DNA-binding transcription factor activity and cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of fat cell proliferation. Acts upstream of or within anoikis; epidermis development; and regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mismatch repair cancer syndrome. Orthologous to several human genes including TFDP1 (transcription factor Dp-1).
