Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable nucleic acid binding activity and translation regulator activity. Involved in positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of cell population proliferation and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytosol; endoplasmic reticulum; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; branchial arch; central nervous system; egg cylinder; and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in myotonic dystrophy type 2. Orthologous to human CNBP (CCHC-type zinc finger nucleic acid binding protein).
