    Summary
    Predicted to enable mRNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ development; nervous system development; and positive regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including embryonic/larval central nervous system; embryonic/larval pericardial cell; imaginal disc; presumptive embryonic/larval system; and ring gland. Orthologous to human SPEN (spen family transcriptional repressor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Finally, mouse Spen and Spenito transcript levels scaled directly with body fat in vivo, suggesting a conserved role in fat liberation and catabolism.
