Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within chorio-allantoic fusion; ectodermal cell differentiation; and trophoblast giant cell differentiation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; alimentary system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in craniosynostosis. Orthologous to human ERF (ETS2 repressor factor).
