Bcor - BCL6 interacting corepressor

Enables RNA polymerase II transcription regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity and transcription corepressor activity. Acts upstream of or within blastocyst hatching and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; eye; gonad; and lung. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer; stomach cancer; stomach carcinoma; syndromic microphthalmia 1; and syndromic microphthalmia 2. Orthologous to human BCOR (BCL6 corepressor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
