Function |
Involved in gene transcription regulation. Acts as a transcriptional repressor in concert with the corepressor UXT to regulate androgen receptor (AR) transcription. May act as a tumor suppressor to repress AR-mediated gene transcription and to inhibit anchorage-independent growth in prostate cancer cells. Required for cell survival in ovarian cancer cells. Together with UXT, associates with chromatin to the NKX3-1 promoter region. Antagonizes transcriptional modulation via hepatitis B virus X protein.

Subcellular Location |
Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Mitochondrion. Cell projection, dendrite {ECO:0000250}. Note=Colocalizes with PFDN2, PFDN4, PPP1CC, RPS6KB1 and STAP1 at mitochondrion.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Ubiquitous. Expressed in ovarian cancers (at protein level). Expressed strongly in skeletal muscle. Expressed weakly in brain, heart, pancreas and in prostate epithelial cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21397856, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21730289, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9819440, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9878255}.
