Predicted to enable cyclin-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activator activity and protein kinase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adult locomotory behavior; cellular response to X-ray; and long-term memory. Located in nucleus. Part of cyclin D2-CDK4 complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; heart; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including breast cancer (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); ductal carcinoma in situ; hepatitis B; and liver cancer (multiple).
