Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable cAMP response element binding protein binding activity. Involved in entrainment of circadian clock by photoperiod. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including memory; negative regulation of membrane hyperpolarization; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in limb and limb mesenchyme. Used to study major depressive disorder. Orthologous to human CRTC1 (CREB regulated transcription coactivator 1).
