Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables nucleic acid binding activity and ribosome binding activity. Involved in cellular response to hypoxia; negative regulation of cytoplasmic translation; and regulation of translation at synapse, modulating synaptic transmission. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of translational elongation. Located in cytoplasm and ribosome. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in central nervous system; early conceptus; and olfactory epithelium. Orthologous to human CPEB2 (cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding protein 2).
