Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables molecular adaptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including protein-DNA complex organization; regulation of DNA-templated transcription; and regulation of fibroblast proliferation. Predicted to act upstream of with a positive effect on negative regulation of gene expression via chromosomal CpG island methylation. Located in spindle. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including angiosarcoma; demyelinating disease; hematologic cancer (multiple); lung adenocarcinoma; and prostate cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human MYC (MYC proto-oncogene, bHLH transcription factor).
