Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables transcription coactivator activity. Involved in positive regulation of branching involved in ureteric bud morphogenesis; regulation of circadian rhythm; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of protein localization to nucleus; positive regulation of apoptotic signaling pathway; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Part of chromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; egg cylinder; genitourinary system; hair follicle; and nervous system. Orthologous to human MAGED1 (MAGE family member D1).
