Insm1 - insulinoma-associated 1

Predicted to enable several functions, including DNA binding activity; DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; and cyclin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including glandular epithelial cell differentiation; nervous system development; and norepinephrine biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of cell migration; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and type B pancreatic cell development. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; branchial arch; gut; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human INSM1 (INSM transcriptional repressor 1).
