Summary
Enables RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; histone deacetylase binding activity; and transcription corepressor binding activity. Contributes to histone deacetylase activity. Involved in protein modification process. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including endoplasmic reticulum membrane; mitochondrion; and nucleus. Predicted to be active in lysosomal membrane and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Machado-Joseph disease and late onset Parkinson's disease. Orthologous to human ATXN3 (ataxin 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
Expression
Biased expression in Thymus (RPKM 100.1), Lung (RPKM 99.8) and 9 other tissues See more

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
