basic FUNCTION
| transactivating the promoters responsive to STAT3 |
|
activating the acute phase response element (APRE) synergistically with STAT3 |
|
enhancing the nuclear localization of STAT3 |
|
augmenting STAT3 activity by keeping it in the nucleus |
|
novel co-factor that promotes adipocyte differentiation and suppresses osteoblast differentiation |
|
potential co-factor in transcriptional regulation that directs bipotential stromal cells and primary osteoblasts to differentiate along the adipocytic rather than osteoblastic lineage |
|
might enhance the ability of osteoblastic cells to support osteoclast formation |
|
may play a fundamental role in bone and blood-related disorders |
