|
| Function |
Exhibits a cytosolic function in lipogenesis, adipogenic differentiation, and lipid homeostasis by increasing the activity of ACLY, possibly preventing its dephosphorylation. May act as a transcriptional repressor. Down-regulates CA9 expression. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20110259, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20225202}.

|
| Tissue Specificity |
Highly expressed in smooth muscle, pancreas and testis.
