NCBI Gene Info:Enables transcription corepressor activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of secretion by cell; neuroblast fate specification; and regulation of backward locomotion. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including P1.aap; P11.aaap; P12.aaap; anal region; and neurons. Used to study alcohol use disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute myeloid leukemia; gray platelet syndrome; platelet-type bleeding disorder 17; and severe congenital neutropenia 2. Orthologous to human GFI1 (growth factor independent 1 transcriptional repressor) and GFI1B (growth factor independent 1B transcriptional repressor).
