Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Smooth muscle cells (SM) and cardiac muscle cells- specific transcriptional factor which uses the canonical single or multiple CArG boxes DNA sequence. Acts as a cofactor of serum response factor (SRF) with the potential to modulate SRF-target genes. Plays a crucial role in cardiogenesis and differentiation of the smooth muscle cell lineage (myogenesis) (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Nucleus {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Expressed in heart, aorta, and in smooth muscle cell-containing tissues: stomach, bladder, small intestine, colon, lung, placenta and uterus. Very faint expression in prostate and skeletal muscle. {ECO:0000269PubMed:12640126, ECO:0000269PubMed:20385216}.
