Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in cytosol; mitochondrion; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of Mad-Max complex and chromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human MXD1 (MAX dimerization protein 1).
