Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.3.0)

Enables several functions, including DNA binding activity; DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; and histone H3K56ac reader activity. Involved in blastocyst development; regulation of asymmetric cell division; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including blastocyst development; cell fate commitment involved in formation of primary germ layer; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytoplasm; nucleolus; and nucleoplasm. Part of transcription repressor complex. Is active in chromatin and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; gonad; and mesoderm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in embryonal carcinoma and seminoma. Orthologous to several human genes including POU5F1 (POU class 5 homeobox 1).
