CATEGORY

transcription factor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,nucleus

basic FUNCTION	putative transcription factor involved in embryogenesis and hematopoiesis
	may be playing an important role in lymphocytes and certain developing tissues
	required for the transcriptional control of genes important for endometrial cell differentiation
	may potentially function to balance attractive with repulsive vessel guidance by up-regulating UNC5B and to down-modulate sprouting under normoxic conditions
	strongly increased the transcripts for several repulsive cell-guidance proteins including UNC5B, PLXNA1, and SEMA3G
