Predicted to enable chromatin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including defense response to other organism; positive regulation of G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle; and positive regulation of intracellular signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within blood vessel maturation and negative regulation of smooth muscle cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in chromatin; nuclear membrane; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Orthologous to human ANKRD17 (ankyrin repeat domain 17). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
