Enables chromatin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including learning or memory; negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and social behavior. Acts upstream of or within lung alveolus development and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Part of protein-containing complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; female reproductive system; hemolymphoid system; and urinary system. Used to study disease of mental health. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 45. Orthologous to human CIC (capicua transcriptional repressor).
