Function |
Transcriptional regulator which functions as a general RNA polymerase II transcription inhibitor. In cooperation with 7SK snRNA sequesters P-TEFb in a large inactive 7SK snRNP complex preventing RNA polymerase II phosphorylation and subsequent transcriptional elongation. May also regulate NF-kappa-B, ESR1, NR3C1 and CIITA-dependent transcriptional activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12581153, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12832472, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12941847, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14580347, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15201869, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15713661, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15940264, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15941832, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17088550}.
