Function | Transcriptional repressor, which probably repress transcription by binding directly the 5'-CTGTCAA-3' DNA sequence or by interacting with TGF-beta activated SMAD proteins. Probably represses transcription via the recruitment of histone deacetylase proteins. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11427533}. |
Subcellular Location | Nucleus. Note=Excluded from nucleoli. |
Tissue Specificity | Widely expressed. Highly expressed in heart, kidney and testis. Weakly expressed in brain and prostate. |
