Nupr1 - nuclear protein transcription regulator 1

Enables acetyltransferase activator activity and chromatin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of autophagy; negative regulation of type B pancreatic cell proliferation; and positive regulation of neuroinflammatory response. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to DNA damage by p53 class mediator; negative regulation of fibroblast proliferation; and skeletal muscle cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in intercellular bridge; nucleoplasm; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of protein-DNA complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo mesenchyme; jaw; orbito-sphenoid; pancreas; and sensory organ. Used to study Sertoli cell-only syndrome. Orthologous to human NUPR1 (nuclear protein 1, transcriptional regulator). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
