| Function |
Transcription factor that plays an essential role in both trophoblast-giant cells differentiation and in cardiac morphogenesis. In the adult, could be required for ongoing expression of cardiac-specific genes. Binds the DNA sequence 5'- NRTCTG-3' (non-canonical E-box). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9500551}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Nucleus, nucleoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17891141}. Nucleus, nucleolus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17891141}. Note=Interaction with MDFIC sequesters it into the nucleolus, preventing the transcription factor activity. Phosphorylation by PLK4 disrupts the interaction with MDFIC and releases it from the nucleolus, leading to transcription factor activity.
