Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including catalytic activity, acting on DNA; nuclear receptor coactivator activity; and nucleic acid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including base-excision repair; oncogene-induced cell senescence; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of senescence-associated heterochromatin focus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; respiratory system; sensory organ; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human HMGA1 (high mobility group AT-hook 1).
