Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Acts as a transcriptional activator. Required for the maintenance of NEUROD1 expression in the horomone-producing endocrine cells of the pancreas. May be involved in specifying diencephalic neuromeric boundaries, and in controlling the expression of genes that play a role in axonal guidance. Associates with chromatin at the NEUROD1 promoter region. Binds to a subset of consensus elements within the NEUROD1 promoter (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Nucleus {ECO:0000255PROSITE- ProRule:PRU00108}.
