Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Involved in cellular response to retinoic acid; central nervous system development; and negative regulation of mitotic cell cycle. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including behavioral fear response; maternal behavior; and short-term memory. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm; dendrite; and neuronal cell body. Is expressed in central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; submandibular gland primordium; and urogenital sinus. Used to study attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder. Orthologous to human BRINP1 (BMP/retinoic acid inducible neural specific 1).
