Jdp2 - Jun dimerization protein 2

Enables several functions, including DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; cAMP response element binding activity; and protein dimerization activity. Acts upstream of or within with a negative effect on regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of fat cell differentiation; negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and positive regulation of histone deacetylation. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including blood island; central nervous system; genitourinary system; musculoskeletal system; and neural retina. Orthologous to human JDP2 (Jun dimerization protein 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
