Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables ornithine decarboxylase inhibitor activity. Involved in negative regulation of polyamine transmembrane transport; positive regulation of intracellular protein transport; and positive regulation of protein catabolic process. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver and biliary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in coronary restenosis. Orthologous to human OAZ1 (ornithine decarboxylase antizyme 1).
