Function |
Regulates the proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic cells. Overexpression block the TPA-induced megakaryocytic differentiation in the K562 cell model. May also prevent cell apoptosis through the activation of the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB) (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Nucleus {ECO:0000250}.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Expressed by bone marrow cells and osteoblasts. Also expressed by ameloblasts in tooth enamel (at protein level). Expressed in enamel organ, ameloblasts, spleen, bone marrow cells and osteoblasts. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11161722, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11891990, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15726423}.
