|
| Function |
Binds to target gene promoters, including NKX2-5 and SYCE1, but not GATA4, and may be involved in the maintenance of the active epigenetic status of these genes. {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15583978}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in embryonic stem cells. No expression is seen in 5 months embryo, mesenchymal stem cells, embryonic fibrocytes and adult tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15583978}.
