Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables chromatin binding activity; protein kinase B binding activity; and titin binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of myoblast differentiation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of myotube differentiation; regulation of intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway by p53 class mediator; and skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Located in several cellular components, including PML body; sarcomere; and sarcoplasm. Part of euchromatin. Colocalizes with I band. Is expressed in skeletal musculature; somite; and tongue. Orthologous to human ANKRD2 (ankyrin repeat domain 2).
