    basic FUNCTION
  • putatively involved in cellular growth control
  • likely involved in the determination of cell lineage and regulation of cell differentiation
  • may be playing a role in the development of the embryonic vascular system
  • playing a protector role in liver fibrosis
  • may have a cytoskeletal role, but as a nuclear protein, actingas a potent transcription coadaptor that remodeled silent cardiac myocyte chromatin and directed serum response factor-dependent smooth muscle gene activity
  • genes
  • exert its potent differentiation role through a combinatorial interaction involving DNA-binding transactivators, chromatin remodeling, and histone modifiers
