Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; cAMP response element binding activity; and transcription coactivator binding activity. Involved in several processes, including hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation; hepatocyte apoptotic process; and p38MAPK cascade. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and retina. Orthologous to human ATF7 (activating transcription factor 7).
