Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable DNA binding activity and metal ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in kinetochore assembly; mitotic sister chromatid cohesion; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within with a positive effect on double-strand break repair via homologous recombination. Predicted to act upstream of or within DNA recombination; DNA repair; and cell division. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of chromatin. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early conceptus; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in White-Sutton syndrome. Orthologous to human POGZ (pogo transposable element derived with ZNF domain).
