Predicted to enable ATP hydrolysis activity and transcription corepressor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of DNA methylation-dependent heterochromatin assembly; protein stabilization; and regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nuclear body. Predicted to be part of transcription regulator complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human ATF7IP (activating transcription factor 7 interacting protein).
