Summary
Predicted to enable transcription corepressor activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of calcineurin-NFAT signaling cascade and regulation of cardiac muscle hypertrophy. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Orthologous to human LMCD1 (LIM and cysteine rich domains 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
