Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 5.4.0)
Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to glucose stimulus; positive regulation of glycolytic process; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within DNA-templated transcription and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study Alzheimer's disease. Orthologous to human ZBTB20 (zinc finger and BTB domain containing 20).
