Gene Summary

Enables nuclear receptor binding activity and transcription corepressor activity. Involved in several processes, including female germ-line stem cell population maintenance; germarium-derived cystoblast division; and male germ-line cyst encapsulation. Located in cytoplasm. Part of COP9 signalosome and repressor ecdysone receptor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; anterior endoderm; anterior endoderm anlage; embryonic/larval intrasegmental apodeme; and larval intersegmental apodeme. Orthologous to human COPS2 (COP9 signalosome subunit 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
