    basic FUNCTION
  • represses class switch recombination in an isotype-specific manner via direct interaction with switch regions involved in the recombination (Repetny 2009)
  • plays a role in cholesterol and steroid metabolism via the transcriptional activation of CYP11A, the rate-limiting enzyme in pregnenolone and aldosterone biosynthesis (Koutnikova 2009)
  • with its functional partners are components of a network controlling blood pressure (Koutnikova 2009)
  • role at the internalization step of endocytosis or with enhanced recycling to the cell surface from an internal compartment (Schmitz 2005)
    • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription, regulation
