Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA binding activity; chromatin binding activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in several processes, including intracellular glucose homeostasis; positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and regulation of insulin receptor signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within glucose homeostasis and positive regulation of insulin receptor signaling pathway. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of chromatin. Is expressed in central nervous system; embryo; liver; retina inner nuclear layer; and retina outer nuclear layer. Orthologous to human NUCKS1 (nuclear casein kinase and cyclin dependent kinase substrate 1).
