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 RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in myeloid dendritic cell differentiation and response to virus. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nucleolus; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in central nervous system and female associated reproductive structure. Orthologous to human BATF3 (basic leucine zipper ATF-like transcription factor 3).
