Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables transcription corepressor activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nuclear body. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; hair follicle; lower urinary tract; and sensory organ. Used to study alopecia universalis; atrichia with papular lesions; and hypotrichosis 4. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alopecia; alopecia universalis; and atrichia with papular lesions. Orthologous to human HR (HR lysine demethylase and nuclear receptor corepressor).
