Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Transcription factor. Binds optimally to the DNA consensus sequence 5'-YYTAATGRTTTTY-3'. May control the expression of neural adhesion molecules such as L1 or Ng-CAM during embryonic development of both the central and peripherical nervous system. May be involved in controlling adhesive processes in keratinizing epithelia.

Subcellular Localization

Nucleus.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Nervous system, particularly in the telencephalon, spinal cord, and dorsal root ganglia.
