Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables DNA binding activity; DNA-binding transcription factor activity; and chromatin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular senescence; negative regulation of apoptotic signaling pathway; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; future brain; genitourinary system; and retina nuclear layer. Used to study Miller-Dieker lissencephaly syndrome. Orthologous to human MNT (MAX network transcriptional repressor).
