Hbp1 - HMG-box transcription factor 1

Enables 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 potassium ion transport. Predicted to be located in nuclear speck. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human HBP1 (HMG-box transcription factor 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
