| Function | Transcriptional repressor. It inhibits the enhancer element of the AFP gene by binding to its AT-rich core sequence. Regulator of myoblasts differentiation through the binding to the AT-rich sequence of MYF6 promoter and promoter repression. Down- regulates the MUC5AC promoter in gastric cancer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11312261, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17330845}. |
| Subcellular Location | Nucleus. |
| Tissue Specificity | Not found in normal gastric mucosa but found in gastric carcinoma cells (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17330845}. |
| Top Pathways | Signaling pathways regulating pluripotency of stem cells |
