Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; identical protein binding activity; and transcription coregulator binding activity. Involved in cerebellar Purkinje cell differentiation; gene expression; and vocalization behavior. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of cell population proliferation; righting reflex; and vocal learning. Is active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; musculoskeletal system; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; autism spectrum disorder (multiple); communication disorder (multiple); dyslexia; and major depressive disorder. Orthologous to human FOXP2 (forkhead box P2).
