Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Transcriptional regulator which is important for the differentiation and maintenance of meso-diencephalic dopaminergic (mdDA) neurons during development. It is crucial for expression of a set of genes such as SLC6A3, SLC18A2, TH and DRD2 which are essential for development of mdDA neurons (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note=Mostly nuclear; oxidative stress promotes cytoplasmic localization.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Expressed in a number of cell lines of T-cell, B-cell and fibroblast origin. Strong expression in brain tissue.
