Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and histone deacetylase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to DNA damage; negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and regulation of signal transduction. Predicted to be located in chromatin. Predicted to be active in nucleoplasm. Orthologous to human HIC1 (HIC ZBTB transcriptional repressor 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
