Predicted to enable translation initiation factor binding activity and translation repressor activity, non-nucleic acid binding. Acts upstream of or within adult locomotory behavior. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in brain; diaphragm; and leg muscle. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022] Annotation information: Note: This locus represents the brain cytoplasmic RNA 1, Bc1 gene. Recently it was determined that the previously identified Bc1 gene (GeneID 12031) is a Bc1 pseudogene. A new GeneID GeneID: 100568459) was created to represent the Bc1 gene located between Fgf15 (GeneID 14170) and Oraov1 (GeneID 72284), downstream of GeneID 12031. [13 Feb 2013]
