|
| Function |
Transcriptional repressor. MXI1 binds with MAX to form a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein complex which recognizes the core sequence 5'-CAC[GA]TG-3'. MXI1 thus antagonizes MYC transcriptional activity by competing for MAX.

| Subcellular Location |
Nucleus.

| Tissue Specificity |
High levels found in the brain, heart and lung while lower levels are seen in the liver, kidney and skeletal muscle.
