SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,nucleus

basic FUNCTION	activating mRNA synthesis from genes that contain functional recognition sites
	is required during corticogenesis to sustain a normal progenitor pool, and to control preplate splitting, as well as the specification of cellular diversity (Zembrzycki 2007)
