    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in the suppression of transcription
  • indispensable for early embryonic development and cell proliferation (Li 2006)
  • involved in negative regulation of VEGF and may represent a novel repressor of VEGF transcription (Harper 2007)
  • displays a suppressive effect on the transcription (Li 2009)
  • a pleiotropic factor that has a role in hematopoiesis, brain development and cancers (Li 2009)
  • essential factor acting for the promotion of the cell cycle and thus maintenance in the progenitor stage (Khalfallah 2009)
  • required for the myelinating function of differentiated oligodendrocytes (Howng 2010)
  • required for the conversion of oligodendrocytes from the premyelinating to the myelinating state (Howng 2010)
  • involved in negative regulation of PDGFRB via its interaction with MYC and may represent a novel repressor of PDGFRB transcription
  • involved in negative regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and may represent a novel repressor of VEGF transcription
