Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity and promoter-specific chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; palatal shelf; and retina. Used to study retinoblastoma and urinary bladder cancer. Orthologous to human RBL1 (RB transcriptional corepressor like 1).
