Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and kinase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of gene expression; positive regulation of gene expression; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within apoptotic process. Predicted to be located in nucleolus and nucleoplasm. Is expressed in brain. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Feingold syndrome. Orthologous to human MYCN (MYCN proto-oncogene, bHLH transcription factor).
