description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; protein serine/threonine kinase activity; and transcription corepressor activity. Contributes to transcription coactivator activity. Involved in several processes, including camera-type eye morphogenesis; protein phosphorylation; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adult walking behavior; cell surface receptor signaling pathway; and intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to DNA damage by p53 class mediator. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; metanephros; nervous system; paraxial mesenchyme; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human HIPK2 (homeodomain interacting protein kinase 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display decreased apoptosis and increased neuron numbers in the trigeminal ganglion.
