Protein Structure
UniProt Annotation
Function Transcriptional cofactor that restricts GATA6 function by inhibiting DNA-binding, resulting in repression of GATA6 transcriptional activation of downstream target genes. Represses GATA6-mediated trans activation of lung- and cardiac tissue- specific promoters. Inhibits DNA-binding by GATA4 and GATA1 to the cTNC promoter (By similarity). Plays a critical role in the development of cardiac hypertrophy via activation of calcineurin/nuclear factor of activated T-cells signaling pathway. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269PubMed:20026769}.
Subcellular Localization Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Nucleus {ECO:0000250}. Note=May shuttle between the cytoplasm and the nucleus. {ECO:0000250}.
Disease Associations
Tissue Specificity Expressed in the heart (at protein level). Expressed in many tissues with highest abundance in skeletal muscle. {ECO:0000269PubMed:20026769}.
