| NCBI Gene Info:Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and suckling behavior. Located in nucleus. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in brain; future midbrain; genitourinary system; heart; and nose. Orthologous to human HELT (helt bHLH transcription factor).
