Function
FUNCTION: Chromatin-binding factor that repress Notch signaling in the absence of Notch intracellular domain by acting as a CBF1 corepressor. Binds to the HEY promoter and might assist, along with NCOR2, RBPJ-mediated repression. Binds RNA in vitro. May be involved in RNA metabolism (PubMed:21475249). In concert with CIC and ATXN1L, involved in brain development (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P54254, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21475249}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Spinocerebellar ataxia 1 (SCA1) [MIM:164400]: Spinocerebellar ataxia is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of cerebellar disorders. Patients show progressive incoordination of gait and often poor coordination of hands, speech and eye movements, due to cerebellum degeneration with variable involvement of the brainstem and spinal cord. SCA1 belongs to the autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias type I (ADCA I) which are characterized by cerebellar ataxia in combination with additional clinical features like optic atrophy, ophthalmoplegia, bulbar and extrapyramidal signs, peripheral neuropathy and dementia. SCA1 is caused by expansion of a CAG repeat in the coding region of ATXN1. Longer expansions result in earlier onset and more severe clinical manifestations of the disease. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7647801, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7951322, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8634720}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. The disease is caused by expansion of the polyglutamine tract to about 40-83 repeats, causing accumulation in neurons and exerting toxicity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7647801, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8634720}.;
