Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Plays a role in the inducible expression of cytokine genes in T-cells, especially in the induction of the IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, TNF-alpha or GM-CSF. Promotes invasive migration through the activation of GPC6 expression and WNT5A signaling pathway (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269PubMed:11030334}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269PubMed:11030334}. Note=Cytoplasmic for the phosphorylated form and nuclear after activation that is controlled by calcineurin-mediated dephosphorylation. Rapid nuclear exit of NFATC is thought to be one mechanism by which cells distinguish between sustained and transient calcium signals. The subcellular localization of NFATC plays a key role in the regulation of gene transcription.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Expressed in thymus, spleen, heart, testis, brain, placenta, muscle and pancreas. {ECO:0000269PubMed:18675896}.
