    basic FUNCTION
  • playing a role in fetal skin development and cutaneous regeneration
  • may play an important role in tumors arising from endocrine-responsive organs
  • functions as an AR repressor to modulate the complex AR signaling and subsequent growth regulation of prostate cancer cells
  • with the androgen receptor (AR), plays a critical role in the normal development of the prostate gland
  • homeobox transcription factor gene that is important in prostate development
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription
