Predicted to enable several functions, including 7SK snRNA binding activity; P-TEFb complex binding activity; and cyclin-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase inhibitor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of nitrogen compound metabolic process; negative regulation of viral transcription; and positive regulation of signal transduction by p53 class mediator. Predicted to act upstream of or within heart development. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of 7SK snRNP. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. Orthologous to human HEXIM1 (HEXIM P-TEFb complex subunit 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
