| Function | Mediates blue light-induced gene expression through the inhibition of COP1-mediated degradation of the transcription factor BIT1. Involved in blue light-dependent stomatal opening, CHS gene expression, inhibition of stem growth and increase of root growth. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16093319, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16703358, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18397371, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7756321, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9565033}. |
| Subcellular Location | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18003924}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18003924}. Note=The nuclear pool is involved in hypocotyl and petiole growth inhibition and anthocyanin production, while the cytoplasmic pool is involved in root growth and cotyledon expansion. |
| Tissue Specificity | Widely expressed. |
