| Function |
Transcriptionally activator that may play a role in regulating the later stages of keratinocytes terminal differentiation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10506207}.

| Subcellular Location |
Nucleus {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU00237}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed exclusively in tissues with a high content of epithelial cells. Highly expressed in salivary gland, mammary gland, kidney and prostate. Weakly expressed in placenta and lung. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are differentially expressed in different tissues. In the kidney, only isoform 1 was expressed, while prostate expressed both isoforms, with levels of isoform 2 being higher. Expression is up-regulated during keratinocyte differentiation. Several epithelial carcinoma cell lines showed lack of expression. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10506207, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9840936}.
