    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent
  • recognizes and binds the palindromic sequence 5'- ttggcnnnnngccaa-3' present in viral and cellular promoters and in the origin of replication of adenovirus type 2
  • neuronal subtype-enriched transcriptional regulators that participate in an intrinsic transcriptional program directing the differentiation of cerebellar granule neurons
  • play roles in patterning, glial development, cortical cell migration and axon guidance
  • transcription factor that specifies glial cell identity and promotes astrocyte differentiation during embryonic development
  • may play a role in astrocytoma biology
  • known to regulate spinal cord and neocortical development, has recently been implicated as acting downstream of NOTCH to initiate the expression of astrocyte-specific genes within the cortex
  • ZBTB20 is a key determinant of astrocytogenesis, in which it collaborates with SOX9 and NFIA, and acts in part through direct repression of POU3F2 expression
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    text cellular transcription factor, functioning as a replication factor for adenovirus DNA replication
    PATHWAY

    INTERACTION
    DNA binds DNA as a homodimer
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • LHX2 is able to suppress NFIA-induced astrogliogenesis robustly
  • also downregulates the activity of the NOTCH signaling pathway via repression of the key NOTCH effector HES1
