Predicted to enable several functions, including nucleosomal histone binding activity; p53 binding activity; and transcription corepressor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including chromatin assembly; negative regulation of apoptotic process; and negative regulation of nitrogen compound metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within apoptotic process. Predicted to be located in chromosome; cytosol; and nucleus. Predicted to be part of Noc1p-Noc2p complex and Noc2p-Noc3p complex. Predicted to be active in nucleolus and nucleoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including connective tissue; eye; genitourinary system; gut; and hemolymphoid system gland. Orthologous to human NOC2L (NOC2 like nucleolar associated transcriptional repressor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
