RNA-binding protein that acts as a nuclear receptor corepressor. Probably acts by binding the SRA RNA, and repressing the SRA-mediated nuclear receptor coactivation. Binds the STR7 loop of SRA RNA. Also able to repress glucocorticoid (GR), androgen (AR), thyroid (TR) and VDR-mediated transactivation.
Mitochondrion . Nucleus . Predominantly mitochondrial. Some fraction is nuclear. In the nucleus, it is recruited to nuclear receptor target promoters.
Ubiquitously expressed, with highest level in heart, liver, skeletal muscle and testis.
