Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway; positive regulation of defense response to virus by host; and positive regulation of monocyte chemotaxis. Predicted to act upstream of or within chemotaxis and response to unfolded protein. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi membrane; neuronal cell body; and nuclear body. Predicted to be part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and skeleton. Orthologous to human CREB3 (cAMP responsive element binding protein 3).
