| Function |
Transcriptional activator that acts at a palindromic recognition sequence to enhance the activity of the SV40 and TK promoters. Functions as a repressor with the prolactin promoter in vivo. May play a role in chondrocyte differentiation and may also influence cervix development. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9753625}.
