CATEGORY

transcription factor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,nucleus

basic FUNCTION	retinoic acid induced differentiation of neurons and geia
	involved in ductal,facial,limb development
	playing an important role in development, apoptosis, cell-cycle control, and complex morphogenic processes
	involved in monoaminergic transmission, likely due to a regulatory effect on genes that are fundamental to this system, monoamine oxidase type A, and the serotonin transporter (Nordquist 2009)

CELLULAR PROCESS	cell life, differentiation
	nucleotide, transcription
