Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables protein self-association and transcription regulator inhibitor activity. Involved in circadian rhythm; negative regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including BMP signaling pathway; lung development; and negative regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ID1 (inhibitor of DNA binding 1).
