Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within branching involved in ureteric bud morphogenesis and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; liver; spleen; and visual system. Orthologous to human GZF1 (GDNF inducible zinc finger protein 1).
