Bach1 - BTB and CNC homology 1, basic leucine zipper transcription factor 1

Enables DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human BACH1 (BTB domain and CNC homolog 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
