| Function |
Plays a role in fat cell development; promotes adipogenic differentiation and stimulates transcription initiation of master adipogenesis factors like PPARG and CEBPA at early stages of preadipocyte differentiation. Its overexpression confers resistance to the anticancer chemotherapeutic drug cisplatin. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19444912, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23239344}.

| Subcellular Location |
Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23239344}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in adipose tissue (at protein level). Highly expressed in omental and subcutaneous adipose tissues. Expressed in heart, cornea, liver, kidney and spleen. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23239344, ECO:0000269|Ref.4}.
