description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables DNA-binding transcription repressor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within detection of temperature stimulus involved in sensory perception of pain; entrainment of circadian clock by photoperiod; and neuron development. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human NR2F6 (nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group F member 6). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit partial agenesis of the locus coeruleus, increased thermal nociception, and defective circadian behavior including a delayed entrainment to shifted light-dark cycles and reduced anticipatory locomotor activity in restricted feeding experiments.
