Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables mRNA 3'-UTR AU-rich region binding activity and mRNA regulatory element binding translation repressor activity. Involved in cellular response to amino acid stimulus; cellular response to hypoxia; and regulation of translation. Acts upstream of or within regulation of neuronal synaptic plasticity; regulation of translation; and synaptonemal complex assembly. Located in several cellular components, including meiotic spindle; nucleus; and synapse. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in central nervous system; early embryo; reproductive system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human CPEB1 (cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding protein 1).
