Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity and transcription corepressor activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of protein-containing complex assembly; negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and nervous system development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell differentiation in spinal cord; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and thymus development. Located in cell leading edge and nucleus. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Used to study anencephaly. Orthologous to human LMO4 (LIM domain only 4).
