    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular
    intracellular,nucleus
    basic FUNCTION
  • may play a role in the function of differnetiated neurons in the adult nervous system rather than programmed cell death (Hitzler 1999)
    • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, proliferation/growth
    nucleotide, transcription, regulation
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS development
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • homodimer or heterodimer with other PAR factors
    • INTERACTION
    DNA
  • binding to double-stranded DNA
  • binding sequence-specific promoter elements to activate transcription
    • RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • CSTF2 is central to the function of HLF and appears to be at least partly responsible for its cell cycle regulation
