|
Function |
Plays a role in the inducible expression of cytokine genes in T-cells, especially in the induction of the IL-2 or IL-4 gene transcription. Also controls gene expression in embryonic cardiac cells. Could regulate not only the activation and proliferation but also the differentiation and programmed death of T-lymphocytes as well as lymphoid and non-lymphoid cells (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Nucleus {ECO:0000250}. Note=Cytoplasmic for the phosphorylated form and nuclear after activation that is controlled by calcineurin- mediated dephosphorylation. Rapid nuclear exit of NFATC is thought to be one mechanism by which cells distinguish between sustained and transient calcium signals. The subcellular localization of NFATC plays a key role in the regulation of gene transcription (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in spleen, lung, skeletal muscle, thymus and skin. Weakly expressed in heart, brain, liver and kidney. Not expressed in testis.
